647 Palindromic Substrings

1. Question

Given a string, your task is to count how many palindromic substrings in this string.

The substrings with different start indexes or end indexes are counted as different substrings even they consist of same characters.

Example 1:

Input: "abc"

Output: 3

Explanation: Three palindromic strings: "a", "b", "c".

Example 2:

Input: "aaa"

Output: 6

Explanation: Six palindromic strings: "a", "a", "a", "aa", "aa", "aaa".

Note:

  1. The input string length won't exceed 1000.

2. Implementation

(1) DP

class Solution {
    public int countSubstrings(String s) {
        int count = 0;
        int n = s.length();
        boolean[][] dp = new boolean[n][n];

        for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) {
            for (int i = j; i >= 0; i--) {
                dp[i][j] = s.charAt(i) == s.charAt(j) && (j - i <= 2 || dp[i + 1][j - 1]);

                if (dp[i][j]) {
                    ++count;
                }
            }
        }
        return count;
    }
}

3. Time & Space Complexity

DP: 时间复杂度O(n^2), 空间复杂度O(n^2)
