Longest Palindromic Substring Solution with Expand-Around-Center Technique

Understanding patterns in strings is key to solving many complex problems. Day 7/100 — Data Structures & Algorithms Journey Today’s Problem: Longest Palindromic Substring Approach: The goal was to find the longest substring that reads the same forward and backward. Instead of checking all possible substrings, I used the expand-around-center technique. For each character (and pair of characters), I expanded outward while the characters on both sides were equal. This helped identify palindromes efficiently without generating all substrings. Key Takeaways: - Breaking the problem into smaller checks improves efficiency - The expand-around-center approach avoids unnecessary computations - Understanding string patterns is essential for optimization This problem strengthened my ability to think in terms of patterns rather than brute force. #DSA #LeetCode #ProblemSolving #SoftwareEngineering #CodingJourney #100DaysOfCode #TechLearning #DeveloperJourney #Programming #Python #InterviewPreparation #CodingSkills #ComputerScience #JobReady #FutureEngineer #TechCareers #SoftwareDeveloper #LearnInPublic #OpenToWork
