Solution: Minimum Number of K Consecutive Bit Flips

Explore how to determine the minimum number of k consecutive bit flips required to convert a binary array into all ones. Understand the use of tracking techniques like a deque to manage flips while keeping time and space complexity optimized. This lesson helps you apply bitwise manipulation strategies to solve this problem efficiently and understand the key concepts behind state tracking and flipping logic.

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 ...
