Solution: Minimum Number of K Consecutive Bit Flips

Explore how to solve the problem of flipping k consecutive bits in a binary array to make all bits equal to 1. Understand the approach of tracking flips and managing the flip state throughout the traversal to find the minimum number of flips or determine if it's impossible. This lesson helps you apply bitwise manipulation techniques to optimize solution time and space complexity.

Statement

We are given a binary arrayAn array consisting of 0s and 1s only. nums and an integer k. Our task is to find the minimum number of flipsChanging a 0 to a 1 or a 1 to a 0. needed to make all the bits in the array equal to 11. However, we can only flip k consecutive bits at a time. So, for a binary array [1,1,0 ...
