Equal Tree Partition(LeetCode 664):

Problem

There is a strange printer with the following two special properties:

  • The printer can only print a sequence of the same character each time.
  • At each turn, the printer can print new characters starting from and ending at any place and will cover the original existing characters.

Given a string s, return the minimum number of turns the printer needed to print it.

 

Example 1:

Input: s = "aaabbb"
Output: 2
Explanation: Print "aaa" first and then print "bbb".

Example 2:

Input: s = "aba"
Output: 2
Explanation: Print "aaa" first and then print "b" from the second place of the string, which will cover the existing character 'a'.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= s.length <= 100
  • s consists of lowercase English letters.
