Problem Statement

Given a string, we want to cut it into pieces such that each piece is a palindrome. Write a function to return the minimum number of cuts needed.

Example 1:

Input: "abdbca"
Output: 3
Explanation: Palindrome pieces are "a", "bdb", "c", "a".

Example 2:

Input: = "cddpd"
Output: 2
Explanation: Palindrome pieces are "c", "d", "dpd".

Example 3:

Input: = "pqr"
Output: 2
Explanation: Palindrome pieces are "p", "q", "r".

Example 4:

Input: = "pp"
Output: 0
Explanation: We do not need to cut, as "pp" is a palindrome.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= st.length <= 16
  • s contains only lowercase English letters.
