Given an array of strings words, return the first palindromic string in the array. If there is no such string, return an empty string "".
A string is palindromic if it reads the same forward and backward.
Example 1:
Input: words = ["abc","car","ada","racecar","cool"] Output: "ada" Explanation: The first string that is palindromic is "ada". Note that "racecar" is also palindromic, but it is not the first.
Example 2:
Input: words = ["notapalindrome","racecar"] Output: "racecar" Explanation: The first and only string that is palindromic is "racecar".
Example 3:
Input: words = ["def","ghi"] Output: "" Explanation: There are no palindromic strings, so the empty string is returned.
Constraints:
1 <= words.length <= 1001 <= words[i].length <= 100words[i] consists only of lowercase English letters.
