Java: Find longest Palindromic Substring within a string
Java String: Exercise-32 with Solution
Write a Java program to find the longest Palindromic Substring within a string.
Visual Presentation:
Sample Solution:
Java Code:
// Import the necessary Java utilities.
import java.util.*;
// Define a public class named Main.
public class Main {
// Define a method to print the substring given start and end indices.
static void printSubStr(String str1, int l, int h) {
System.out.println(str1.substring(l, h + 1));
}
// Define a method to find the longest palindromic substring.
static int longPalSubstr(String str1) {
int n = str1.length();
boolean table[][] = new boolean[n][n];
int mLength = 1;
// Fill the diagonal elements as true.
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
table[i][i] = true;
int strt = 0;
// Check for palindromes of length 2.
for (int i = 0; i < n - 1; ++i) {
if (str1.charAt(i) == str1.charAt(i + 1)) {
table[i][i + 1] = true;
strt = i;
mLength = 2;
}
}
// Check for palindromes of length greater than 2.
for (int k = 3; k <= n; ++k) {
for (int i = 0; i < n - k + 1; ++i) {
int j = i + k - 1;
if (table[i + 1][j - 1] && str1.charAt(i) == str1.charAt(j)) {
table[i][j] = true;
if (k > mLength) {
strt = i;
mLength = k;
}
}
}
}
// Print the longest palindromic substring.
System.out.print("The longest palindrome substring in the given string is: ");
printSubStr(str1, strt, strt + mLength - 1);
return mLength;
}
// The main method to execute the code.
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Define the input string.
String str1 = "thequickbrownfoxxofnworbquickthe";
// Print the given string.
System.out.println("The given string is: " + str1);
// Find and print the length of the longest palindromic substring.
System.out.println("The length of the palindromic substring is: " + longPalSubstr(str1));
}
}
Sample Output:
The given string is: thequickbrownfoxxofnworbquickthe The longest palindrome substring in the giv en string is; brownfoxxofnworb The length of the palindromic substring is: 16
