2472. Maximum Number of Non-overlapping Palindrome Substrings 👍

Problem

You are given a string s and a positive integer k.

Select a set of non-overlapping substrings from the string s that satisfy the following conditions:

  • The length of each substring is at least k.
  • Each substring is a palindrome.

Return the maximum number of substrings in an optimal selection.

A substring is a contiguous sequence of characters within a string.

 

Example 1:

Input: s = "abaccdbbd", k = 3
Output: 2
Explanation: We can select the substrings underlined in s = "abaccdbbd". Both "aba" and "dbbd" are palindromes and have a length of at least k = 3.
It can be shown that we cannot find a selection with more than two valid substrings.

Example 2:

Input: s = "adbcda", k = 2
Output: 0
Explanation: There is no palindrome substring of length at least 2 in the string.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= k <= s.length <= 2000
  • s consists of lowercase English letters.
