"""
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 only letters and
numbers. given a string 's', return true if it is a palindrome, or false
otherwise.
