题目
Given a string s, find the longest palindromic substring in s. You may assume that the maximum length of s is 1000.
Example 1:
Input: "babad"
Output: "bab"
Note: "aba" is also a valid answer.
Example 2:
Input: "cbbd"
Output: "bb"
O(n^2)级别的解法
使用遍历的方法，从左往右依次寻找，寻找的基本思想是先从一个字母开始，如果左边索引对应的数等于右边索引对应的数，则扩展左边索引和右边索引，左减1，右加1，直到左边或右边达到边界。并且记录相应的左边索引和子串的长度。
代码示例
public class Solution {
private int lo, maxLen;
public String longestPalindrome(String s) {
int len = s.length();
if (len < 2)
return s;
for (int i = 0; i < len-1; i++) {
extendPalindrome(s, i, i); //assume odd length, try to extend Palindrome as possible
extendPalindrome(s, i, i+1); //assume even length.
}
return s.substring(lo, lo + maxLen);
}
private void extendPalindrome(String s, int j, int k) {
while (j >= 0 && k < s.length() && s.charAt(j) == s.charAt(k)) {
j--;
k++;
}
if (maxLen < k - j - 1) {
lo = j + 1;
maxLen = k - j - 1;
}
}}
