Given a string text, return its longest contiguous substring that is a palindrome.

If multiple palindromic substrings have the maximum length, return the one with the smallest starting index.

longestPalindromicSubstring(text: String) → String

Both aba and bab have length 3. The substring aba starts earlier.

text = "cbbd"return = "bb"

The longest palindromic substring is bb.
