Given a string s and an integer k, return true if you can use all the characters in s to construct k palindrome strings or false otherwise.

\n\n

 

\n

Example 1:

\n\n
\nInput: s = "annabelle", k = 2\nOutput: true\nExplanation: You can construct two palindromes using all characters in s.\nSome possible constructions "anna" + "elble", "anbna" + "elle", "anellena" + "b"\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: s = "leetcode", k = 3\nOutput: false\nExplanation: It is impossible to construct 3 palindromes using all the characters of s.\n
\n\n

Example 3:

\n\n
\nInput: s = "true", k = 4\nOutput: true\nExplanation: The only possible solution is to put each character in a separate string.\n
