Palindromic Strings

A string is a palindrome if the reverse of the string is the same as the original string. An analyst at HackerRank is tasked to analyze an array of n strings that consist of lowercase English characters.

In one operation, the analyst chooses 4 integers, namely x, y, i, j such that 1 ≤ x, y ≤ n, 1 ≤ i ≤ length(arr[x]), 1 ≤ j ≤ length(arr[y]) and then swaps arr[x][i] and arr[y][j] using 1-based indexing.

The analyst wishes to determine the maximum number of palindromic strings that can be obtained by performing the operation any number of times, possibly 0.
