This looks great! I don't believe we have testing setup yet. Would you be interested in helping us set that up?

Sure, I could look into opening a PR for this sometime tomorrow, just to be clear are you referring to adding a test_longest_palindrome_substring.py test file to the test/projects directory?

It's actually a somewhat complex process. There are three files that need to be added/updated:

• https://github.com/TheRenegadeCoder/sample-programs/blob/master/runner.py
• https://github.com/TheRenegadeCoder/sample-programs/blob/master/.glotter.yml
• https://github.com/TheRenegadeCoder/sample-programs/tree/master/test/projects

The first two are relatively straightforward. Then, you'd need to add a test_longest_palindrome_substring.py file which includes the actual tests.

One thing worth mentioning is that we might want to add/change tests depending on what makes sense. Also, we need to decided on a file name. Longest Palindromic Substring is a bit long, but I'm not against using that straight up. That said, we've used LCS in the past for Longest Common Subsequence.
