#K12396. Palindromic Rearrangement
Palindromic Rearrangement
Palindromic Rearrangement
Given a string s, determine whether it is possible to rearrange its characters to form a palindrome.
A string can be rearranged to form a palindrome if at most one character appears an odd number of times. For example, the string civic is already a palindrome, and the string ivicc can be rearranged to form civic which is a palindrome, while the string hello cannot form any palindrome permutation.
The problem may be formally stated as:
Given a string \( s \), determine if there exists a permutation of \( s \) that is a palindrome. A necessary and sufficient condition is that at most one character has an odd count in \( s \).
inputFormat
The input consists of a single line containing a non-empty string \( s \) consisting of lowercase English letters.
Example:
civic
outputFormat
Output a single line: YES
if the characters of the string can be rearranged to form a palindrome, or NO
otherwise.
Example:
YES## sample
civic
YES
