Leetcode 336. Palindrome Pairs- FB tag

Given a list of unique words, find all pairs of distinct indices (i, j) in the given list, so that the concatenation of the two words, i.e. words[i] + words[j] is a palindrome.

Example 1:

Input: ["abcd","dcba","lls","s","sssll"]
Output: [[0,1],[1,0],[3,2],[2,4]] 
Explanation: The palindromes are ["dcbaabcd","abcddcba","slls","llssssll"]

Example 2:

Input: ["bat","tab","cat"]
Output: [[0,1],[1,0]] 
Explanation: The palindromes are ["battab","tabbat"]
 思路：

两个for循环，外层循环数组，内层循环单词的character，然后取character的0，j个，然后检查palindrome， 来个str2的reverse， 然后去map里面检查有没有这个str2rev，有的话就可以写到list里了，不过0是map.get(str2rvs),  1 是 i。因为是str1的回文，2的时候是调转的并且要检查str2是否是空字符。

    for (int i=0; i<words.length; i++) map.put(words[i], i);
    
    for (int i=0; i<words.length; i++) {
        for (int j=0; j<=words[i].length(); j++) { // notice it should be "j <= words[i].length()"
            String str1 = words[i].substring(0, j);  
            String str2 = words[i].substring(j);
            if (isPalindrome(str1)) {
                 //System.out.println("str1"+str1);
                String str2rvs = new StringBuilder(str2).reverse().toString();
                 //System.out.println("str2rvs "+str2rvs);
                if (map.containsKey(str2rvs) && map.get(str2rvs) != i) {
                    List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<Integer>();
                    list.add(map.get(str2rvs));
                    list.add(i);
                    ret.add(list);    // System.out.printf("isPal(str1): %s\n", list.toString());
                }
            }
            if (isPalindrome(str2)) { 
                String str1rvs = new StringBuilder(str1).reverse().toString();
                // check "str.length() != 0" to avoid duplicates
                if (map.containsKey(str1rvs) && map.get(str1rvs) != i && str2.length()!=0) { 
                    List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<Integer>();
                    list.add(i);
                    list.add(map.get(str1rvs));
                    ret.add(list);
                    // System.out.printf("isPal(str2): %s\n", list.toString());
                }
