String can have size 1000, max size is not 999.

Use Manaker's algorithm

Use hashs + bin find :)

 longest palindromic substring is "kazak" itself. What am i missing ?

Help me please!

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include<vector>
using namespace std;
string turn(string s)
{
    string news;
    for (int i = s.length() - 1; i >= 0; i--)
        news.push_back(s[i]);
    return news;
}
int main()
{
    string s; string news;
    getline(cin, s);
    vector <int> l;
    vector <string> counts;
    for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++)
    {
        int n = s.length();
        for (int j = 1; j <= s.length() - n + 1 && (s.length() - n + 1) <= (s.length() - i); j++)
        {
            news = s.substr(i, j);
            if (turn(news) == news && news.length() > 1)
            {
                l.push_back(news.length()); counts.push_back(news);
            }
            n--;
        }

    }
    int maxl = 0; string saves;
    for (int k = 0; k < l.size(); k++)
    {
        if (l[k] > maxl)
        {
            maxl = l[k]; saves = counts[k];
        }
    }
    cout << saves;
}

Try this simple test:

Answer:

input : ABCDLKOIKJTFIDCBA

ouput is a single letter such as A K and I
NOT “ABCD” or what have you .

Hi! I'm just amazed about this algorithm! My previous O(N^3) implementation take 0.624 and 508 KB with my best efforts to reduce runtime. When I submitted the Manacher's one, the runtime dropped down to 0.015 and 2376 KB!! Just google it. It's a very easy and efficient O(N) algorithm. That's all you need to solve this problem. No more than 30 lines of code.

my cpp code is following:

    }
    int pos = -ans.se;
    for (int i = pos; i < pos + ans.fi; i++) printf("%c", str[i]); puts("");
    return 0;
}

I've tried to enlarge the alphabet size, but there's no effect.

I also test lots of random test cases, all of them are correct.

I hope someone could give me a hack data.

Hi, everyone!
I used Manacher's algorithm to solve this problem, but I got WA on #14 test. Can someone hint me, what could be the problem?

My code in python 3.6:

def is_palindrom(x):
    if x==x[::-1]:
        return True
    return False

s=input()
s=s[::-1]
n=len(s)
a=[]
for x in range(2,n+1):
    for i in range(0,n-x+1):
        if is_palindrom(s[i:i+x]):
            a.append(s[i:i+x])
if len(a)==0:
    b=s[-1]
else:
    b=a[-1]
print(b)

Memory is 70160 Kb, where so much it?
Please, help, I would be grateful!

I was so upset that I wa on #7 more than 10. I want to practice my suffix array,so I used it and used RMQ,But I wa on #7.
I very want to know what is #7.
Can the admin give the simple to me? thanks a lot
http://paste.ubuntu.com/23169621/
the suffix array algorithm is right cause I got AC ever using this Template~~

tried all mentioned test cases .all correct. still WA on #12.
using surfix array.any idea?

code here:

Try test abbc.
Good luck!
