Longest Palindromic Substring
Short summary
Tutorial on solving LeetCode's longest palindromic substring problem using two approaches: brute force O(N³) and expand-around-center O(N²). Code examples in Java with explanations of time/space complexity and the intuition behind the optimal solution.
- •Brute force: check all substrings, O(N³) time complexity
- •Optimal: expand from every palindrome center, O(N²) time
- •Tutorial with working Java implementations for both approaches
