A palindrome string is one that reads the same backward as well as forward.


You are given a string 'str'.


Find the minimum number of characters needed to insert in 'str' to make it a palindromic string.


Example :
Input: 'str' = "abca"

Output: 1

Explanation:
If we insert the character ‘b’ after ‘c’, we get the string "abcba", which is a palindromic string. Please note that there are also other ways possible.


Problem approach

A palindrome string is one that reads the same backward as well as forward. Given a string 'STR', you need to tell the minimum number of characters needed to insert into it to make it a palindromic string.
