Rust Gym Leetcode 5 Longest Palindromic Substring Rust Solution

5. Longest Palindromic Substring

Given a string s, return the longest palindromic substring in s.

Example 1:

Input: s = "babad"
Output: "bab"
Note: "aba" is also a valid answer.

Example 2:

Input: s = "cbbd"
Output: "bb"

Example 3:

Input: s = "a"
Output: "a"

Example 4:

Input: s = "ac"
Output: "a"

Constraints:

1 <= s.length <= 1000
s consist of only digits and English letters (lower-case and/or upper-case),
