005. Longest Palindromic Substring

Given a string s, find the longest palindromic substring in s. You may assume that the maximum length of s is 1000.

Example 1:

Input: "babad"
Output: "bab"
Note: "aba" is also a valid answer.

Example 2:

Input: "cbbd"
Output: "bb"

解题思路1 比较简单易懂，不过对于连续重复的字符串存在耗时操作

解题思路2 是将连续重复字符串看成一个整体了，比如 abbba 下表是01234   相同的不比较了，直接比较相同的左边跟右边
