A phrase is a palindrome if, after converting all uppercase letters into lowercase letters and removing all non-alphanumeric characters, it reads the same forward and backward. Alphanumeric characters include letters and numbers.

Given a string s, return true if it is a palindrome, or false otherwise.

  Example 1:

Input: s = "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama" Output: true Explanation: "amanaplanacanalpanama" is a palindrome.

Example 2:

Input: s = "race a car" Output: false Explanation: "raceacar" is not a palindrome.

Example 3:

Input: s = " " Output: true Explanation: s is an empty string "" after removing non-alphanumeric characters. Since an empty string reads the same forward and backward, it is a palindrome.

  Constraints:

1 <= s.length <= 2 * 10⁵
s consists only of printable ASCII characters.
