Minimum Flips to Make the Binary String Alternate

Understand the problem of transforming a binary string into an alternating sequence by applying minimal flips and rotations. Learn to implement an efficient solution that runs in linear time and constant space, helping you master this common coding challenge.

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 00, it becomes 1 ...
