描述

给定一个字符串 s,找到 s 中最长的回文子串。你可以假设 s 的最大长度为 1000。

示例 1:

输入: “babad”
输出: “bab”
注意: “aba” 也是一个有效答案。
示例 2:

输入: “cbbd”
输出: “bb”

Python

将所有的回文数分为奇偶长度的,分别计算最大长度,helper用来得到最大长度的回文

class Solution:
    def longestPalindrome(self, s):
        res = ""
        for i in range(len(s)):
            # odd case, like "aba"
            tmp = self.helper(s, i, i)
            if len(tmp) > len(res):
                res = tmp
            # even case, like "abba"
            tmp = self.helper(s, i, i+1)
            if len(tmp) > len(res):
                res = tmp
        return res
 
    # from left to right
    def helper(self, s, l, r):
        while l >= 0 and r < len(s) and s[l] == s[r]:
            l -= 1; r += 1
        return s[l+1:r]

Java

class Solution {
    public String longestPalindrome(String s) {
        String res = new String();
        for(int i=0;i<s.length();i++){
            String tmp = this.helper(s,i,i);
            if(tmp.length()>res.length()) res = tmp;
            tmp = this.helper(s,i,i+1);
            if(tmp.length()>res.length()) res = tmp;
        }
        return res;
    }
    
    public String helper(String s,int l,int r){
        while(l>=0 && r<s.length() && s.charAt(l)==s.charAt(r)){
            l--;
            r++;
        }
        return s.substring(l+1,r);
    }
