https://leetcode.com/problems/palindrome-partitioning-iii

Description

You are given a string s containing lowercase letters and an integer k. You need to :

  • First, change some characters of s to other lowercase English letters.

  • Then divide s into k non-empty disjoint substrings such that each substring is a palindrome.

Return the minimal number of characters that you need to change to divide the string.

Example 1:

**Input:** s = "abc", k = 2
**Output:** 1
**Explanation:** You can split the string into "ab" and "c", and change 1 character in "ab" to make it palindrome.

Example 2:

**Input:** s = "aabbc", k = 3
**Output:** 0
**Explanation:** You can split the string into "aa", "bb" and "c", all of them are palindrome.

Example 3:

**Input:** s = "leetcode", k = 8
**Output:** 0

Constraints:

  • 1 <= k <= s.length <= 100.

  • s only contains lowercase English letters.
