Solution: Minimum Number of K Consecutive Bit Flips

Understand the method to solve the problem of flipping k consecutive bits to convert a binary array into all ones. Learn to track flips, manage flipping states, and implement an efficient O(n) time complexity solution using a deque. This lesson helps you grasp bitwise manipulation techniques applied to solve minimum flip problems in coding interviews.

Statement

We are given a binary arrayAn array consisting of 0s and 1s only. nums and an integer k. Our task is to find the minimum number of flipsChanging a 0 to a 1 or a 1 to a 0. needed to make all the bits in the array equal to 11. However, we can only flip k consecutive bits at a time. So, for a binary array [1,1,0 ...
