Given a non-empty string s, you may delete at most one character. Judge whether you can make it a palindrome.

Example 1:

Input: "aba"
Output: True

 

Example 2:

Input: "abca"
Output: True
Explanation: You could delete the character 'c'.

 

Note:

  1. The string will only contain lowercase characters a-z. The maximum length of the string is 50000.
