You are given a String input. You are to find the longest substring of input such that the reversal of the substring is also a substring of input. In case of a tie, return the string that occurs earliest in input. Definition 给你一个字符串,你再生成一个颠倒的字符串,从原串中找出任意子串能同时存在颠倒的字符串中, 求出最长子串 Class: ReverseSubstring Method: findReversed Parameters: String Returns: String Method signature: String findReversed(String input) (be sure your method is public) 类ReverseSubstring方法 public String findReversed(String input)
Notes - The substring and its reversal may overlap partially or completely. - The entire original string is itself a valid substring (see example 4). Constraints - input will contain between 1 and 50 characters, inclusive. - Each character of input will be an uppercase letter ('A'-'Z'). Examples 0)
"XBCDEFYWFEDCBZ" Returns: "BCDEF" We see that the reverse of BCDEF is FEDCB, which appears later in the string. 颠倒的字符串为"ZBCDEFWYFEDCBX",原串中BCDEF也是颠倒的字符串的子串,并且为最长的 1)
"XYZ" Returns: "X" The best we can do is find a one character substring, so we implement the tie-breaker rule of taking the earliest one first. 2)
"ABCABA" Returns: "ABA" The string ABA is a palindrome (it's its own reversal), so it meets the criteria. 3)
"FDASJKUREKJFDFASIREYUFDHSAJYIREWQ" Returns: "FDF"
4)
"ABCDCBA" Returns: "ABCDCBA" Here, the entire string is its own reversal. This problem statement is the exclusive and proprietary property of TopCoder, Inc.
