Longest Palindromic Subsequence

Last Updated: 7 Nov, 2020
Difficulty: Hard

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Try Problem

You have been given a string ‘A’ consisting of lower case English letters. Your task is to find the length of the longest palindromic subsequence in ‘A’.

A subsequence is a sequence generated from a string after deleting some or no characters of the string without changing the order of the remaining string characters. (i.e. “ace” is a subsequence of “abcde” while “aec” is not).

A string is said to be palindrome if the reverse of the string is the same as the actual string. For example, “abba” is a palindrome, but “abbc” is not a palindrome.

Input Format:
The first line of input contains an integer ‘T’ representing the number of test cases. Then the test cases follow.

The only line of each test case contains a single string ‘A’ consisting of only lowercase English letters.
Output Format:
For each test case, print a single integer denoting the length of the longest palindromic subsequence in string ‘A’.

The output for each test case is in a separate line.
Note:
You do not need to print anything, it has already been taken care of. Just implement the given function.
Constraints:
1 <= T <= 10
1 <= N <= 10 ^ 2

Where ‘T’ is the number of test cases, and ‘N’ is the length of the string.

Time limit: 1 sec.
