Given string str, write a program to partition str such that every substring of the partition is a palindrome. Return the minimum cuts needed for a palindrome partitioning of str.
Problem Note
n containing all different characters, then the minimum n-1 cut is needed.Example 1
Input: str = "aba"
Output: 0
Explanation:"aba" is already a palindrome, so no cuts are needed.
Example 2
Input: str = "aab"
Output: 1
Explanation: Return 1 since the palindrome partitioning ["aa","b"] could be produced using 1 cut.
Example 3
Input: str = “ababbbabbababa”
Output: 3
Explanation: Here 3 cuts are needed.
The palindromes are: a | babbbab | b | ababa
