Given an array of strings words, return the first palindromic string in the array. If there is no such string, return an empty string "".

\n\n

A string is palindromic if it reads the same forward and backward.

\n\n

 

\n

Example 1:

\n\n
\nInput: words = ["abc","car","ada","racecar","cool"]\nOutput: "ada"\nExplanation: The first string that is palindromic is "ada".\nNote that "racecar" is also palindromic, but it is not the first.\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: words = ["notapalindrome","racecar"]\nOutput: "racecar"\nExplanation: The first and only string that is palindromic is "racecar".\n
\n\n

Example 3:

\n\n
\nInput: words = ["def","ghi"]\nOutput: ""\nExplanation: There are no palindromic strings, so the empty string is returned.\n
