2 * [1332] Remove Palindromic Subsequences
3 *
4 * You are given a string s consisting only of letters 'a' and 'b'. In a single step you can remove one palindromic subsequence from s.
5 * Return the minimum number of steps to make the given string empty.
6 * A string is a subsequence of a given string if it is generated by deleting some characters of a given string without changing its order. Note that a subsequence does not necessarily need to be contiguous.
7 * A string is called palindrome if is one that reads the same backward as well as forward.
8 *  
9 * Example 1:
10 * 
11 * Input: s = "ababa"
12 * Output: 1
13 * Explanation: s is already a palindrome, so its entirety can be removed in a single step.
14 * 
15 * Example 2:
16 * 
17 * Input: s = "abb"
18 * Output: 2
19 * Explanation: "<u>a</u>bb" -> "<u>bb</u>" -> "". 
20 * Remove palindromic subsequence "a" then "bb".
21 * 
22 * Example 3:
23 * 
24 * Input: s = "baabb"
25 * Output: 2
26 * Explanation: "<u>baa</u>b<u>b</u>" -> "<u>b</u>" -> "". 
27 * Remove palindromic subsequence "baab" then "b".
28 * 
29 *  
30 * Constraints:
31 * 
32 * 	1 <= s.length <= 1000
33 * 	s[i] is either 'a' or 'b'.
