Given a string s, find the longest palindromic substring in s. You may assume that the maximum length of s is 1000.

Example 1:

Input: "babad"
Output: "bab"
Note: "aba" is also a valid answer.

Example 2:

Input: "cbbd"
Output: "bb"

Solution1:  Brute Force. We can run three loops, the outer two loops pick all substrings one by one by locking the corner characters, the inner loop checks whether the picked substring is palindrome or not. 

 

code:

 1 /*
 2     Time complexity: O ( n^3 )  outer->2 for loops to find all possible substrings; 
 3                                 inner->1 while loop to check current substring isValidPalindrome
 4     Space complexity: O ( 1 )
 5 */

 7 class Solution {
 8     public String longestPalindrome(String s) {
 9         String res = "";
10         for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
11             for (int j = i ; j < s.length(); j++) {  
12                 String sub = s.substring(i, j + 1);
13                 if (isValidPalindrome(sub) && sub.length() > res.length()) {
14                     res = sub;
15                 }
16             }
17         }
18         return res;
19     }
20 
21     public boolean isValidPalindrome(String s){
22         int l = 0;
23         int r = s.length() - 1;
24         while (l < r){
25             if(s.charAt(l) != s.charAt(r)){
26                 return false;
27             }else{
28                 l++;
29                 r--;
30             }
31         }
32         return true;
33     }
34 }

 

 

 

Solution2:  DP.

step1, initialize a matrix for saving intermediate info

 

step2, we can pre-calculate some info(此题代码可以将预处理合并到general case中来写)

step3, To fill the matrix.  If  char at start != char at end,  then s.substring[start, end] cannot be a palindrom, fill 'F' in such spot

step4, To fill the matrix.  If  char at start == char at end, it means two sides are the same. Then if we can make sure substring [start + 1 to end - 1] is panlindrom,  the whole substring should be a panlindrom.

step5, to fill the matrix in the same way

step6, update the longest result

 

 code

 1 class Solution {
 2     public String longestPalindrome(String s) {
 3         String res = "";
 4         boolean[][] dp = new boolean[s.length()][s.length()];
 5         int max = 0;
 6         for(int j= 0; j < s.length(); j++){
 7             for(int i = 0; i<=j; i++){
 8                 dp[i][j] = s.charAt(i) == s.charAt(j) && ((j-i<=2)||dp[i+1][j-1]);      
 9                 if(dp[i][j] && (j-i+1>max)){
10                 max = j- i + 1;
11                 res = s.substring(i,j+1);
12             }
13            }  
14         }     
15        return res;     
16     }
17 }
