/Python/Longest Palindromic Substring using DP

Longest Palindromic Substring using DP

# The value of table[i][j] is true, if the substring is palindrome, otherwise false.
# To calculate table[i][j], check the value of table[i+1][j-1], if the value is true and str[i] is same as str[j], then we make table[i][j] true.


# Python program

import sys

# A utility function to print a
# substring str[low..high]
def printSubStr(st, low, high) :
    sys.stdout.write(st[low : high + 1])
    sys.stdout.flush()
    return ''

# substring of st[]. It also returns the length
# of the longest palindrome
def longestPalSubstr(st) :
    n = len(st) # get length of input string

    # table[i][j] will be false if substring 
    # str[i..j] is not palindrome. Else 
    # table[i][j] will be true

                          in range(n)]

            # palindrome
