131. Palindrome Partitioning

Given a string s, partition s such that every substring of the partition is a palindrome.
Return all possible palindrome partitioning of s.
For example, given s = "aab",
Return
[
["aa","b"],
["a","a","b"]
]

Solution1：Backtracking(DFS)，

思路：回溯法，从start到n 取i开始测试substr(start, i)是否为回文，如果是的话，再DFS继续测试substr(start=i, next_i)是否回文，递归继续。到底后或者发现不是，step back by removing回溯到上一步, i=i+1，继续测试substr(start, i)。
回溯顺序：
输入abcdef
测试a, b, c, d, e
测试ab, 如是继续测c, cd, cde..
测试abc,如是继续测c, cd, cde...

Time Complexity: O(2^N *N)： 2^N组合次数(每个字符可以cut or not)，and isPalindrome function is O(n)
Space Complexity(不算result的话): O(2n) : n是递归缓存的cur_result + n是缓存了n层的普通变量O(1) ? (Not Sure)

Solution1.2：Backtracking(DFS) Round1

Solution1 Code：

class Solution {
    public List> partition(String s) {
        List> result = new ArrayList<>();
        List cur_res = new ArrayList<>();
        backtrack(s, 0, cur_res, result);
        return result;
    }

    public void backtrack(String s, int start, List cur_res, List> result) {
        if(start == s.length()) {
            result.add(new ArrayList<>(cur_res));
        }
        
        for(int i = start; i < s.length(); i++) {
            if(!isPalindrome(s, start, i)) {
                continue;
            }
            cur_res.add(s.substring(start, i + 1));
            backtrack(s, i + 1, cur_res, result);
            cur_res.remove(cur_res.size() - 1);
        }
    }

    public boolean isPalindrome(String s, int low, int high){
        while(low < high)
            if(s.charAt(low++) != s.charAt(high--)) return false;
        return true;
    }  
}

        }
        List cur_res = new ArrayList<>();

                cur_res.add(candidate_str);
                backtrack(s, start + len, cur_res, result);
                cur_res.remove(cur_res.size() - 1);
            }
        }
    }
    
        
    private boolean ifPalindrome(String str) {
        int left = 0, right = str.length() - 1;
        while(left < right) {
            if(str.charAt(left) != str.charAt(right)) {
                return false;
            }
            left++;
            right--;
