Comment (by slabbe):

 14. I do not get why there is an odd and even case. What is the definition
 of {{{the length of the longest palindrome centered at a given position
 j}}}?

     I think that `j` should be a rational number `0<= j < w.length()` such
 that `2j` is an integer. Like `j=2.5` could be valid. This idea comes from
 the fact that a word w is symmetric if `w[i]=w[2a-i]` for all indices i
 and for some value a where 2a is an integer.
