# 「POJ-3974」Palindrome-manacher

Andy the smart computer science student was attending an algorithms class when the professor asked the students a simple question, “Can you propose an efficient algorithm to find the length of the largest palindrome in a string?”

A string is said to be a palindrome if it reads the same both forwards and backwards, for example “madam” is a palindrome while “acm” is not.

The students recognized that this is a classical problem but couldn’t come up with a solution better than iterating over all substrings and checking whether they are palindrome or not, obviously this algorithm is not efficient at all, after a while Andy raised his hand and said “Okay, I’ve a better algorithm” and before he starts to explain his idea he stopped for a moment and then said “Well, I’ve an even better algorithm!”.

If you think you know Andy’s final solution then prove it! Given a string of at most $1000000$ characters find and print the length of the largest palindrome inside this string.
