Dada una cadena, debemos verificar si es posible convertir esta cadena en un palíndromo después de eliminar exactamente un carácter de ella.
Ejemplos:
Input : str = abcba Output : Yes we can remove character ‘c’ to make string palindrome Input : str = abcbea Output : Yes we can remove character ‘e’ to make string palindrome Input : str = abecbea It is not possible to make this string palindrome just by removing one character
Podemos resolver este problema encontrando la posición de desajuste. Comenzamos a hacer un bucle en la cadena manteniendo dos punteros en ambos extremos que se desplazan hacia la posición media después de cada iteración. Esta iteración se detendrá cuando encontremos una discrepancia, ya que solo se permite eliminar un carácter. Aquí tenemos dos opciones.
En caso de discrepancia, elimine el carácter señalado por el puntero izquierdo o elimine el carácter señalado por el puntero derecho.
Verificaremos ambos casos, recuerde que ya que hemos atravesado el mismo número de pasos desde ambos lados, esta cadena intermedia también debería ser un palíndromo después de eliminar un carácter, por lo que verificamos dos subcadenas, una eliminando el carácter izquierdo y otra eliminando el carácter derecho y si una de ellas es palíndromo, entonces podemos hacer una cadena palíndromo completa eliminando el carácter correspondiente y si ambas subcadenas no son palíndromos, entonces no es posible hacer que una cadena completa sea un palíndromo bajo la restricción dada.
