Given a string str of lowercase alphabets, the task is to find all distinct palindromic sub-strings of the given string.

Examples: 

Input: str = “abaaa” 
Output:
Palindromic sub-strings are “a”, “aa”, “aaa”, “aba” and “b”

Input: str = “abcd” 
Output:
 

Approach: The solution to this problem has been discussed here using Manacher’s algorithm. However we can also solve it using dynamic programming
Create an array dp[][] where dp[i][j] is set to 1 if str[i…j] is a palindrome else 0. After the array has been generated, store all the palindromic sub-strings in a map in order to get the count of distinct sub-strings.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:  

C++




// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to return the count
// of distinct palindromic sub-strings
// of the given string s
int palindromeSubStrs(string s)
{
 
    // To store the positions of
    // palindromic sub-strings
    int dp[s.size()][s.size()];
    int st, end, i, j, len;
 
    // Map to store the sub-strings
    map<string, bool> m;
    for (i = 0; i < s.size(); i++) {
 
        // Sub-strings of length 1 are palindromes
        dp[i][i] = 1;
 
        // Store continuous palindromic sub-strings
        m[string(s.begin() + i, s.begin() + i + 1)] = 1;
    }
 
    // Store palindromes of size 2
    for (i = 0; i < s.size() - 1; i++) {
        if (s[i] == s[i + 1]) {
            dp[i][i + 1] = 1;
            m[string(s.begin() + i, s.begin() + i + 2)] = 1;
        }
 
        // If str[i...(i+1)] is not a palindromic
        // then set dp[i][i + 1] = 0
        else {
            dp[i][i + 1] = 0;
        }
    }
 
    // Find palindromic sub-strings of length>=3
    for (len = 3; len <= s.size(); len++) {
        for (st = 0; st <= s.size() - len; st++) {
 
            // End of palindromic substring
            end = st + len - 1;
 
            // If s[start] == s[end] and
            // dp[start+1][end-1] is already palindrome
            // then s[start....end] is also a palindrome
            if (s[st] == s[end] && dp[st + 1][end - 1]) {
 
                // Set dp[start][end] = 1
                dp[st][end] = 1;
                m[string(s.begin() + st, s.begin() + end + 1)] = 1;
            }
 
            // Not a palindrome
            else
                dp[st][end] = 0;
        }
    }
 
    // Return the count of distinct palindromes
    return m.size();
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    string s = "abaaa";
    cout << palindromeSubStrs(s);
 
    return 0;
}

Time complexity : O((n^2)logn), where n is the length of the input string. This is because we are using a nested loop to iterate over all possible substrings and check if they are palindromic.

Space complexity : O(n^2). This is because we are using a 2D array of size n x n to store the results of subproblems, and a map to store the distinct palindromic substrings.
