Palindrome Partitioning II (Min Cuts)

**Problem Statement:** Given the required input arguments, write an efficient algorithm to solve the **Palindrome Partitioning II (Min Cuts)** problem. Implement the required logic as specified by standard definitions for this classic algorithmic challenge. **Hint / Expected Approach:** 1D cuts DP + palindrome 2D precompute **Edge Cases to Consider:** - (1) Already palindrome (0 cuts) - (2) All same chars - (3) All different chars

Examples

Example 1

Input: "aab"

Output: 1

Explanation: "aa"

Example 2

Input: "a"

Output: 0

Explanation: Already palindrome

Example 3

Input: "ab"

Output: 1

Explanation: "a"

Constraints

▪Input arguments are within valid ranges
▪Optimize for execution speed
▪Handle null/empty inputs gracefully

Watch Out For Edge Cases

▪Already palindrome (0 cuts)
▪All same chars
▪All different chars
