Solution: Count Binary Substrings
Explore how to efficiently count binary substrings containing equal numbers of consecutive zeros and ones. This lesson teaches you to track the sizes of adjacent character groups in a single pass, enabling you to calculate valid substrings without generating all possibilities. Understand the key steps to implement the linear time and constant space solution.

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.
