A palindrome is a string of symbols that is equal to itself when reversed. Given an input string, not necessarily a palindrome, compute the number of swaps necessary to transform the string into a palindrome. By swap we mean reversing the order of two adjacent symbols. For example, the string "mamad" may be transformed into the palindrome "madam" with 3 swaps:- swap "ad" to yield "mamda"
- swap "md" to yield "madma"
- swap "ma" to yield "madam"
The first line of input gives n, the number of test cases. For each test case, one line of input follows, containing a string of up to 100 lowercase letters. Output consists of one line per test case. This line will contain the number of swaps, or "Impossible" if it is not possible to transform the input to a palindrome.
Sample Input
3 mamad asflkj aabb
Output for Sample Input
3 Impossible 2
解决方案:先预处理,如果出现次数为奇数的字母多于一个,那么必是Impossible。然后就是求最小移动的次数,可从两头到中间进行操作,如果相等,向里缩一个,不相等,则寻找步数最近的移动。
