Minimum Flips to Make the Binary String Alternate
Try to solve the Minimum Flips to Make the Binary String Alternate problem.
We'll cover the following
Statement
Given a binary string s
, the following two operations can be performed in any sequence:
-
Type–1: Remove the character at the start of the string
s
and append it to the end of the string. -
Type–2: Pick any character from the string and flip its value. in other words, if its value is , it becomes and vice versa.
Your task is to return the minimum number of type- operations that you need to perform before s
becomes alternating.
Note: The string is called alternating if no two adjacent characters are equal.
Constraints:
-
s.length
s[i]
is either or .
