INTERNOA
See Cisco online assessment and hiring insights
The input consists of a string inputStr, representing the given string for the puzzle.
From the given string, print a substring which is the same when read forwards and backwards.
Note
- If there are multiple sub-strings of equal length, choose the lexicographically smallest one.
- If there are multiple sub-strings of different length, choose the one with maximum length.
- If there is no sub-string that is the same when read forwards and backwards print "None".
- Sub-string is only valid if its length is more than 1.
- Strings only contain uppercase characters (A-Z).
1Example 1
Input
inputStr = "YABCCBAZ"
Output
"ABCCBA"
Explanation
Given string is "YABCCBAZ", in this only sub-string which is same when read forward and backward is "ABCCBA".
2Example 2
Input
inputStr = "ABC"
Output
"None"
Explanation
Given string is "ABC", and no sub-string is present which is same when read forward and backward.
So, the output is "None".
