I have no idea on how to deal with the insertions problem in a similar way to minimum deletions problem. Can anyone share their codes?

Here’s the code which will return a minimum number of insertions to make in a string to make it a palindrome:

int findMinimumInsertion(string str) 
{ 

int n = str.length(); 
int total = 0; 
int count[50] = {}; 

for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) 
    count[str[i] - 'a']++; 

for (int i = 0; i < 50; i++) 
    if (count[i] % 2 == 1) 
        total++; 

if(total==0)
   return 0;
else
   return total-1;

}
