使用给定的N个字符，长度为M的非回文字符串的计数

给定两个正整数N和M ，任务是使用给定的N个不同字符来计算长度为M的非回文字符串的数量。
注意：每个不同的字符可以多次使用。

例子：

Input: N = 3, M = 2 
Output: 6 
Explanation: 
Since only 3 characters are given, those 3 characters can be used to form 3² different strings. Out of these, only 3 strings are palindromic. Hence, the remaining 6 strings are palindromic.

Input: N = 26, M = 5 
Output: 11863800 
 

方法：
请按照以下步骤解决问题：

• 使用给定的N个字符，长度为M的字符串总数为N ^M。
• 要使字符串成为回文，前半部分和后半部分应相等。对于M的偶数值，我们需要选择从给定的N个字符仅M / 2个字符。为奇数值，我们需要选择M /从给定的N个字符2 + 1字符。由于允许重复，因此长度为M的回文字符串总数为N ^{(M / 2 + M％2)} 。
• 非回文字符串的所需计数由以下公式给出：

  NM - N(M/2 + M%2)
  

下面是上述方法的实现：

C++

// C++ Program to count
// non-palindromic strings
// of length M using N 
// distinct characters
#include 
using namespace std;
  
  
// Iterative Function to calculate
// base^pow in O(log y)
unsigned long long power(
    unsigned long long base,
    unsigned long long pow)
{
    unsigned long long res = 1;
    while (pow > 0) {
        if (pow & 1)
            res = (res * base);
        base = (base * base);
        pow >>= 1;
    }
    return res;
}
  
// Function to return the 
// count of non palindromic strings
unsigned long long countNonPalindromicString(
    unsigned long long n,
    unsigned long long m)
{
    // Count of strings using n
    // characters with 
    // repetitions allowed
    unsigned long long total
        = power(n, m);
      
    // Count of palindromic strings
    unsigned long long palindrome
        = power(n, m / 2 + m % 2);
      
    // Count of non-palindromic strings
    unsigned long long count
        = total - palindrome;
  
    return  count;
}
int main()
{
  
    int n = 3, m = 5;
    cout<< countNonPalindromicString(n, m);
    return 0;
}
