Problem Brief
Minimize Length of Longest Substring
OA
See Salesforce online assessment and hiring insights
You are given a binary string s containing only 0s and 1s.
Your task is to minimize the length of the longest consecutive substring of the same character by
performing at most k operations. In one operation, you can flip a single bit: change
a 0 to 1 or a 1 to 0.
Input:
A binary string s (length n), where 1 ≤ n ≤ 10^5.
An integer k (the maximum number of bit flips allowed), where 0 ≤ k ≤ n.
Output:
Return the minimum possible length of the longest consecutive substring of the same character after
performing at most k flips.
