Maximum power of jump required to reach the end of string
Given a string consisting of 1 and 0, the task is to find out the maximum power of jump required to reach the end of the string. At a time you can jump from one 1 to next 1 or from one 0 to next 0.
Note: Power of jump is defined as the distance between two consecutive 1’s or two consecutive 0’s.
Examples:
Input: 10101 Output: 2 First, make a power jump of 1 to reach first 1, then a power jump of 2 to reach second 1 and then finally a power jump of 2 to reach the end of the string hence the maximum power of jump is 2. Input: 11110 Output: 5 Since to reach the end of the string, we have to make power jump of 5 to reach 0 and end of the string
Approach:
- Check if the last character of given string is 1 or 0.
- If the last character is 1 then search for the first 1 in the string and continue to jump to the next 1 to reach the last of the string. Update the maximum jumps.
- Similarly, if the last character is 0 then search for the first 0 in the string and continue to jump to the next 0 to reach the last of the string. Update the maximum jumps.
- Return the maximum number of jumps taken to reach the end.
