Problem Statement



You are given a string, S , consisting of lowercase English letters.



A string is beautiful with respect S to if it can be derived from S by removing exactly 2 characters.



Find and print the number of different strings that are beautiful with respect to S.



Input Format



A single string of lowercase English letters denoting S.



Output Format



Print the number of different strings that are beautiful with respect
to S.



Sample Input



abba



Sample Output



4



Explanation



The following strings can be derived by removing characters from S:
ab, bb, ba, ab, ba, aa and bb.



This gives us our set of unique beautiful strings, B = {ab, ba, aa,
bb}
as |B| = 4, we print 4




Here is my solution but it's not using dynamic programming. I am not getting any hints about how it can be solved via a DP approach.



function beautifulStrings(str) {
const res = new Set()

for (let i = 0; i < str.length - 1; i++) {
for (let j = i + 1; j < str.length; j++) {
let s = str.split('')
s[i] = undefined
s[j] = undefined
res.add(s.join(''))
}
}

return res.size
}
