Check if all the 1’s in a binary string are equidistant or not

Given a binary string str, the task is to check if all the 1’s in the string are equidistant or not. The term equidistant means that the distance between every two adjacent 1’s is same. Note that the string contains at least two 1’s.

Examples:

Input: str = “00111000”
Output: Yes
The distance between all the 1’s is same and is equal to 1.
Input: str = “0101001”
Output: No
The distance between the 1^st and the 2^nd 1’s is 2
and the distance between the 2^nd and the 3^rd 1’s is 3.

Approach: Store the position of all the 1’s in the string in a vector and then check if the difference between each two consecutive positions is same or not.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
#include <stdio.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function that returns true if all the 1's
// in the binary string s are equidistant
bool check(string s, int l)
{
 
    // Initialize vector to store
    // the position of 1's
    vector<int> pos;
 
    for (int i = 0; i < l; i++) {
 
        // Store the positions of 1's
        if (s[i] == '1')
            pos.push_back(i);
    }
 
    // Size of the position vector
    int t = pos.size();
    for (int i = 1; i < t; i++) {
 
        // If condition isn't satisfied
        if ((pos[i] - pos[i - 1]) != (pos[1] - pos[0]))
            return false;
    }
 
    return true;
}
 
// Drivers code
int main()
{
    string s = "100010001000";
    int l = s.length();
    if (check(s, l))
        cout << "Yes";
    else
        cout << "No";
 
    return 0;
}

Java

// Java implementation of the approach
import java.util.*;
 
class GFG
{
 
// Function that returns true if all the 1's
// in the binary string s are equidistant
static boolean check(String s, int l)
{
 
    // Initialize vector to store
    // the position of 1's
    Vector<Integer> pos = new Vector<Integer>();
 
    for (int i = 0; i < l; i++)
    {
 
        // Store the positions of 1's
        if (s.charAt(i)== '1')
            pos.add(i);
    }
 
    // Size of the position vector
    int t = pos.size();
    for (int i = 1; i < t; i++)
    {
 
        // If condition isn't satisfied
        if ((pos.get(i) - pos.get(i-1)) != (pos.get(1) - pos.get(0)))
            return false;
    }
 
    return true;
}
 
// Drivers code
public static void main(String args[])
{
    String s = "100010001000";
    int l = s.length();
    if (check(s, l))
        System.out.print("Yes");
    else
        System.out.print("No");
}
}
