K-Palindrome Challenge
Given a string \( s \) and an integer \( k \), determine whether it is possible to transform \( s \) into a palindrome by removing at most \( k \) characters.
The key observation is that the minimum number of removals required to convert \( s \) into a palindrome is \(|s| - LPS(s)\), where \( LPS(s) \) is the length of the longest palindromic subsequence in \( s \). Hence, the condition becomes:
\( |s| - LPS(s) \le k \)
If the above condition holds, output True
; otherwise, output False
.
inputFormat
The input is read from standard input (stdin) and consists of two lines:
- The first line contains a non-empty string \( s \).
- The second line contains an integer \( k \) indicating the maximum number of characters that can be removed.
outputFormat
Output to standard output (stdout) a single line containing True
if \( s \) can be transformed into a palindrome by removing at most \( k \) characters, otherwise False
