Add Manacher’s Algorithm for Longest Palindromic Substring (TheAlgorithms#5462)

ionuthodoroaga03 · donutt03 · web-flow · commit 1460eb7bbef3 · 2024-09-24T16:21:57.000+03:00
* Added Manacher Algorithm

* Formatted ManacherTest.java

* Formatted Manacher.java

* Refactor: Update Manacher's algorithm tests and improve readability

- Added parameterized tests for longestPalindrome, empty cases, complex cases, and sentence palindromes.
- Removed unnecessary comments for cleaner code.
- Renamed variable `p` to `palindromeLengths` for clarity based on code review feedback.
