LPS - Longest Palindromic Substring

no tags 

A palindrome is a string that is the same as its reverse. Example "malayalam", "dad", "appa" etc. In this problem you are asked to find the length of the longest contiguous substring of a given string, which is a palindrome.

Input

The first line consists of a single integer N, the number of characters in the string. 1 <= N <= 100000.

Second line is a string with N characters, where the characters are always lowercase English letters, i.e. 'a' to 'z'.

Output

A single line with an integer representing the length of longest palindromic substring.

Example
Input:
5
ababa

Output:
5

The test cases are pretty weak...

i think the test cases are faulty... an accepted solution using wrong concept of suffix arrays gives 4 as output for abcdshitdcba

I getting WA after the judge runs test case 13. I even copied the solution from http://www.geeksforgeeks.org/longest-palindrome-substring-set-1/ and modified to suit the input/output format, still error after 13th testcase. Any pointers people?
I tried both C and java.
