Encuentre el palíndromo más largo formado eliminando o mezclando caracteres de una cadena

Dada una cadena, encuentre el palíndromo más largo que se pueda construir eliminando o mezclando caracteres de la cadena. Devuelve solo un palíndromo si hay varias cadenas de palíndromos de mayor longitud.

Ejemplos: 

  Input:    abc   Output:   a OR b OR c   Input:    aabbcc   Output:   abccba OR baccab OR cbaabc OR any other palindromic string of length 6.   Input:    abbaccd   Output:   abcdcba OR ...   Input:    aba   Output:   aba 

Podemos dividir cualquier cuerda palindrómica en tres partes: inicio, mitad y final. Para una cadena palindrómica de longitud impar, digamos que 2n + 1 'beg' consta de los primeros n caracteres de la cadena. 'mid' constará de solo 1 carácter, es decir, (n + 1)ésimo carácter y 'end' constará de los últimos n caracteres de la cadena palindrómica. Para una cadena palindrómica de longitud par, 2n 'mid' siempre estará vacía. Cabe señalar que 'fin' será el inverso de 'comienzo' para que la cadena sea palíndromo.

La idea es utilizar la observación anterior en nuestra solución. Como se permite la mezcla de caracteres, el orden de los caracteres no importa en la cadena de entrada. Primero obtenemos la frecuencia de cada carácter en la cadena de entrada. Entonces, todos los caracteres que tengan una aparición par (digamos 2n) en la cadena de entrada serán parte de la cadena de salida, ya que podemos colocar fácilmente n caracteres en la cadena 'inicio' y los otros n caracteres en la cadena 'final' (preservando el orden palindrómico). Para los caracteres que tienen una aparición impar (por ejemplo, 2n + 1), completamos 'mid' con uno de todos esos caracteres. y los 2n caracteres restantes se dividen por la mitad y se agregan al principio y al final.

A continuación se muestra la implementación de la idea anterior.

Complejidad del tiempo de la solución anterior es O(n) donde n es la longitud de la cadena. Dado que el número de caracteres del alfabeto es constante, no contribuyen al análisis asintótico.
Espacio auxiliar utilizado por el programa es M donde M es el número de caracteres ASCII.
