Length of longest consecutive ones by at most one swap in a Binary String

Given a Binary String of length . It is allowed to do at most one swap between any 0 and 1. The task is to find the length of the longest consecutive 1’s that can be achieved.

Examples: 



Input : str = "111011101"
Output : 7 
We can swap 0 at 4th with 1 at 10th position

Input : str = "111000"
Output : 3 
We cannot obtain more than 3 1's after 

Approach

  1. Count all 1’s in the array in a variable say cnt_one.
  2. Maintain two vectors or arrays storing cumulative ones from left and right.
  3. Whenever there is a 0: 
    • if (left[i-1]+right[i+1] < cnt_one) store max_count = left[i-1] + right [i+1] + 1, as by swapping we will get one extra one in place of 0.
    • else max_count = left[i-1] + right[i+1].
  4. Output is the maximum value of max_count that can be achieved.

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 



// C++ program to find length of longest consecutive
// ones by at most one swap in a Binary String
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to calculate the length of the
// longest consecutive 1's
int maximum_one(string s, int n)
{
    // To count all 1's in the string
    int cnt_one = 0;
 
    int max_cnt = 0, temp = 0;
 
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        if (s[i] == '1') {
            cnt_one++;
            temp++;
        }
        else {
            max_cnt = max(temp, max_cnt);
            temp = 0;
        }
    }
 
    max_cnt = max(max_cnt, temp);
 
    // To store cumulative 1's
    int left[n], right[n];
 
    if (s[0] == '1')
        left[0] = 1;
    else
        left[0] = 0;
 
    if (s[n - 1] == '1')
        right[n - 1] = 1;
    else
        right[n - 1] = 0;
 
    // Counting cumulative 1's from left
    for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
        if (s[i] == '1')
            left[i] = left[i - 1] + 1;
 
        // If 0 then start new cumulative
        // one from that i
        else
            left[i] = 0;
    }
 
    for (int i = n - 2; i >= 0; i--) {
        if (s[i] == '1')
            right[i] = right[i + 1] + 1;
 
        else
            right[i] = 0;
    }
 
    for (int i = 1; i < n - 1; i++) {
        // perform step 3 of the approach
        if (s[i] == '0') {
 
            // step 3
            int sum = left[i - 1] + right[i + 1];
 
            if (sum < cnt_one)
                max_cnt = max(max_cnt, sum + 1);
 
            else
                max_cnt = max(max_cnt, sum);
        }
    }
 
    return max_cnt;
