/********************************************************************************** 
* 
* Validate if a given string is numeric.
* 
* Some examples:
* "0" => true
* "   0.1  " => true
* "abc" => false
* "1 a" => false
* "2e10" => true
* 
* Note: It is intended for the problem statement to be ambiguous. 
*       You should gather all requirements up front before implementing one.
