LeetCode in Kotlin

1771. Maximize Palindrome Length From Subsequences

Hard

You are given two strings, word1 and word2. You want to construct a string in the following manner:

Return the length of the longest palindrome that can be constructed in the described manner. If no palindromes can be constructed, return 0.

A subsequence of a string s is a string that can be made by deleting some (possibly none) characters from s without changing the order of the remaining characters.

A palindrome is a string that reads the same forward as well as backward.

Example 1:

Input: word1 = “cacb”, word2 = “cbba”

Output: 5

Explanation: Choose “ab” from word1 and “cba” from word2 to make “abcba”, which is a palindrome.

Example 2:

Input: word1 = “ab”, word2 = “ab”

Output: 3

Explanation: Choose “ab” from word1 and “a” from word2 to make “aba”, which is a palindrome.

Example 3:

Input: word1 = “aa”, word2 = “bb”

Output: 0

Explanation: You cannot construct a palindrome from the described method, so return 0.

Solution

class Solution {
    fun longestPalindrome(word1: String, word2: String): Int {
        val len1 = word1.length
        val len2 = word2.length
        val len = len1 + len2
        val word = word1 + word2
        val dp = Array(len) { IntArray(len) }
        var max = 0
        val arr = word.toCharArray()
        for (d in 1..len) {
            var i = 0
            while (i + d - 1 < len) {
                if (arr[i] == arr[i + d - 1]) {
                    dp[i][i + d - 1] = if (d == 1) 1 else Math.max(dp[i + 1][i + d - 2] + 2, dp[i][i + d - 1])
                    if (i < len1 && i + d - 1 >= len1) {
                        max = Math.max(max, dp[i][i + d - 1])
                    }
                } else {
                    dp[i][i + d - 1] = Math.max(dp[i + 1][i + d - 1], dp[i][i + d - 2])
                }
                i++
            }
        }
        return max
    }
