#P4324. Longest Twisted Palindrome
Longest Twisted Palindrome
Longest Twisted Palindrome
You are given two strings (A) and (B) of equal length (N). A twisted string (S(i,j,k)) is defined as the concatenation of the substring from the (i)th character to the (j)th character in (A) and the substring from the (j)th character to the (k)th character in (B) (both indices are 1-indexed). Formally, (S(i,j,k)=A[i\ldots j]\Vert B[j\ldots k]). For example, if (A=\mathtt{XYZ}) and (B=\mathtt{UVW}) then (S(1,2,3)=\mathtt{XYVW}).
A twisted palindrome is defined as one of the following:
- A palindromic substring of (A).
- A palindromic substring of (B).
- A twisted string (S(i,j,k)) which is a palindrome.
Your task is to find the length of the longest twisted palindrome among all possibilities.
A string is a palindrome if it reads the same backward as forward. (N) is the length of each string.
inputFormat
The first line contains an integer (N), the length of the strings.\nThe second line contains the string (A).\nThe third line contains the string (B).
outputFormat
Output a single integer, the length of the longest twisted palindrome.
