Add Manacher's Algorithm for Longest Palindromic Substring
Summary
This PR implements Manacher's Algorithm, a linear-time O(n) algorithm for finding the longest palindromic substring in a string. This is a significant improvement over the naive O(n²) approach.
What's Added
Algorithm Implementation (
Algorithms/Strings/ManachersAlgorithm.cs):FindLongestPalindrome()- Returns the longest palindromic substringFindLongestPalindromeWithDetails()- Returns palindrome with position detailsIsPalindrome()- Checks if entire string is a palindromeComprehensive Test Suite (
Algorithms.Tests/Strings/ManachersAlgorithmTests.cs):Documentation:
Algorithm Details
Testing
All tests pass successfully:
