recently i found an O(n) algorithm called manacher's algorithm...check it out...its the most efficient algorithm..i couldn't understand it by the way...

Is "casac" considered a palindrome or it must be inside de string ("asa").

Everybody is following the same track.so now I am confused whom to give the tick...! btw I was expecting an O(n^2) algorithm.Those of u don't know the Big-Oh notation surf the internet and find it out.Its pretty simple and useful for computer science students. Hope for more response!Thank You everyone.

@Marfik Em casac is a palindrome and the o/p counts it as well for a string that doesnot have palindrome the o/p should be 1 i.e 1 character is always a palindrome
