题目:Given a string S, find the longest palindromic substring in S. You may assume that the maximum length of S is 1000, and there exists one unique longest palindromic substring.
解题思路:palindromic-substring是指回文串,例如abba、abcba,它有一个特点就是从字符串的中间开始往两边的字符都是一样的。我们可以从字符串的第二个字符开始向左边和右边同时扫描,找到字符长度最长的回文串。示例代码如下:
public class Solution
{
public String longestPalindrome(String s)
{
int n = s.length();
if (n <= 1)
return s;
int maxlen = 1, k, j, a = 0;
int l;
for (int i = 1; i < n;)
{
k = i - 1;
j = i + 1;
//扫描左边与s[i]相同的字符
while (k >= 0 && s.charAt(k) == s.charAt(i))
k--;
//扫描右边与是s[i]相同的字符
while (j < n && s.charAt(j) == s.charAt(i))
j++;
while (k >= 0 && j < n && s.charAt(k) == s.charAt(j))
{
k--;
j++;
}
l = j - k - 1;
if (maxlen < l)
{
a = k + 1;
maxlen = l;
}
i++;
}
return s.substring(a, a+maxlen);
}
