Solution: Count Binary Substrings

Understand how to count valid binary substrings with equal numbers of consecutive zeros and ones by tracking group sizes. Learn to implement a single-pass algorithm that compares adjacent character groups to find the total count efficiently with constant space use.

Statement

Given a binary string s, return the count of non-empty substrings that satisfy both of the following conditions:

  • The substring contains an equal number of '0's and '1's.

  • All '0's and all '1's within the substring are grouped consecutively (i.e., no interleaving of the two characters).

Substrings that appear multiple times are counted once for each occurrence.
