Note that a subsequence does not necessarily need to be contiguous. * * A string is called palindrome if is one that reads the same backward as well as forward. */ class Solution { public: static int removePalindromeSub(const std::string& s) { auto r = s; std::reverse(r.begin(), r.end()); return 1 + (!(s == r) && std::count_if(s.begin(), s.end(), [&](char c) { return c == (s[0] ^ 3); }) ? 1 : 0); } }; int main() { std::cout << Solution::removePalindromeSub("abaaba"); return 0; }
