Share Given a string which consists of lowercase or uppercase letters, find the length of the longest palindromes that can be built with those letters.

This is case sensitive, for example "Aa" is not considered a palindrome here.

Note: Assume the length of given string will not exceed 1,010.

Example:

Input: "abccccdd"

Output: 7

Explanation: One longest palindrome that can be built is "dccaccd", whose length is 7.

思路：统计字符串中每个字母的个数num，计数器count+=num/2,如果个数num有单数，最后组成的回文长度为count2+1，如果是复数，最后组成回文长度为count2

代码：python3

class Solution:
	def longestPalindrome(self, s):
		counter = collections.Counter(s)
		count=0
		hasSingle=False
		for v in counter.values():
			if v%2==1:
				hasSingle=True
			count+=int(v/2)
		return count*2+1 if hasSingle else count*2
