unique-length-3-palindromic-subsequences


Given a string s, return the number of unique palindromes of length three that are a subsequence of s.



Note that even if there are multiple ways to obtain the same subsequence, it is still only counted once.



A palindrome is a string that reads the same forwards and backwards.



A subsequence of a string is a new string generated from the original string with some characters (can be none) deleted without changing the relative order of the remaining characters.




  • For example, "ace" is a subsequence of "abcde".



 


Example 1:



Input: s = "aabca"
Output: 3
Explanation: The 3 palindromic subsequences of length 3 are:
- "aba" (subsequence of "aabca")
- "aaa" (subsequence of "aabca")
- "aca" (subsequence of "aabca")


Example 2:



Input: s = "adc"
Output: 0
Explanation: There are no palindromic subsequences of length 3 in "adc".


Example 3:



Input: s = "bbcbaba"
Output: 4
Explanation: The 4 palindromic subsequences of length 3 are:
- "bbb" (subsequence of "bbcbaba")
- "bcb" (subsequence of "bbcbaba")
- "bab" (subsequence of "bbcbaba")
- "aba" (subsequence of "bbcbaba")


 


Constraints:




  • 3 <= s.length <= 105

  • s consists of only lowercase English letters.
