Problem: Count Binary Substrings

med
30 min
Explore how to count non-empty binary substrings containing equal consecutive 0s and 1s. Understand grouping conditions and implement efficient solutions using substring tracking methods to master coding interview challenges.

Statement

Given a binary string s, return the count of non-empty substrings that satisfy both of the following conditions:

  • The substring contains an equal number of '0's and '1's.

  • All '0's and all '1's within the substring are grouped consecutively (i.e., no interleaving of the two characters).

Substrings that appear multiple times are counted once for each occurrence.

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq s.length 105\leq 10^5

  • s[i] is either '0' or '1'
