409. Longest Palindrome

Posted 2020-08-14 鱼与海洋

Given a string which consists of lowercase or uppercase letters, find the length of the longest palindromes that can be built with those letters.

This is case sensitive, for example "Aa" is not considered a palindrome here.

Note:
Assume the length of given string will not exceed 1,010.

Example:

Input:
"abccccdd"

Output:
7

Explanation:
One longest palindrome that can be built is "dccaccd", whose length is 7.

public class Solution {
    public int longestPalindrome(String s) {
      HashMap<Character, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
      int res = 0;
      int odd = 0;
      for(int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++){
          map.put(s.charAt(i), map.getOrDefault(s.charAt(i), 0)+1);
      }
      for(int i : map.values()){
          if(i > 0 &&  i % 2 == 0)
            res += i;
          else{
            res += i - 1;  //是奇数的话要可取偶数个值！！！！
            odd = 1;
          }
      }
      return res + odd;
    }
}
