Problem: Longest Subarray of 1's After Deleting One Element

Explore how to apply the sliding window technique to find the longest subarray of 1s after deleting one element from a binary array. This lesson helps you understand problem constraints, develop an efficient approach, and implement a solution that meets coding interview standards.

Statement

Given a binary array nums, remove exactly one element from it. Return the length of the longest non-empty subarray consisting entirely of 11's in the resulting array. If no such subarray exists, return 00.

Note: Exactly one element must always be deleted, even if all elements are 11's.

Constraints:

  • 1≤1 \leq nums.length ≤105\leq 10^5

  • nums[i] is either 00 or 11
