A palindrome is a symmetrical string, that is, a string read identically from left to right as well as from right to left. You are to write a program which, given a string, determines the minimal number of characters to be inserted into the string in order to obtain a palindrome.
As an example, by inserting 2 characters, the string “Ab3bd” can be transformed into a palindrome (“dAb3bAd” or “Adb3bdA”). However, inserting fewer than 2 characters does not produce a palindrome.
Input
Your program is to read from standard input. The first line contains one integer: the length of the input string N, 3 <= N <= 5000. The second line contains one string with length N. The string is formed from uppercase letters from ‘A’ to ‘Z’, lowercase letters from ‘a’ to ‘z’ and digits from ‘0’ to ‘9’. Uppercase and lowercase letters are to be considered distinct.
Output
Your program is to write to standard output. The first line contains one integer, which is the desired minimal number.
Sample Input
5
Ab3bd
Sample Output
2
题目大意:将一串字符串变成回文串至少需要插入几个字符
必备知识:
1、最长公共子序列:参考博客:动态规划 最长公共子序列 过程图解
2、滚动数组(使用二维数组dp[5000][5000]会爆内存) 参考博客:滚动数组的简单实用
这题就是求 原串长度 - 原串和逆序串的最长公共子序列
