5. Longest Palindromic Substring

Medium

Given a string s, return the longest palindromic substring in s.

Example 1:

Input: s = “babad”

Output: “bab” Note: “aba” is also a valid answer.

Example 2:

Input: s = “cbbd”

Output: “bb”

Example 3:

Input: s = “a”

Output: “a”

Example 4:

Input: s = “ac”

Output: “a”
