{leetcode}/problems/palindrome-partitioning-iii/[LeetCode - Palindrome Partitioning III^]

You are given a string s containing lowercase letters and an integer k. You need to :

• First, change some characters of s to other lowercase English letters.

• Then divide s into k non-empty disjoint substrings such that each substring is palindrome.

Return the minimal number of characters that you need to change to divide the string.

Example 1:

Input: s = "abc", k = 2
Output: 1
Explanation: You can split the string into "ab" and "c", and change 1 character in "ab" to make it palindrome.

Example 2:

Input: s = "aabbc", k = 3
Output: 0
Explanation: You can split the string into "aa", "bb" and "c", all of them are palindrome.

Example 3:

Input: s = "leetcode", k = 8
Output: 0

Constraints:

• 1 ⇐ k ⇐ s.length ⇐ 100.

• s only contains lowercase English letters.
