/**
 * Given a non-empty string s, you may delete at most one character.
 * Judge whether you can make it a palindrome.
 *
 * Example 1:
 * Input: "aba"
 * Output: True
 *
 * Example 2:
 * Input: "abca"
 * Output: True
 *
 * Explanation: You could delete the character 'c'.
 * Note:
 * The string will only contain lowercase characters a-z.
 * The maximum length of the string is 50000.
 *
