Solution

This problem is about manipulating binary strings to make them k-proper. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to approach it:

  1. Understand the problem: You are given a binary string of length n and an integer k. You can perform a

Write a program that takes in a positive integer as input, and outputs a string of 1's and 0's representing the integer in reverse binary. For an integer x, the algorithm is:As long as x is greater than 0 Output x % 2 (remainder is either 0 or 1) x = x / 2Note: The above algorithm outputs the 0's and 1's in reverse order.Ex: If the input is:6the output is:0116 in binary is 110; the algorithm outputs the bits in reverse.

Make Bob WinAlice and Bob are playing a game. They have with them a binary string ๐‘†S.Alice and Bob alternate making moves, with Alice going first.On their turn, a player does the following:Choose a non-empty contiguous substring of ๐‘†S all of whose characters are the same, delete it from ๐‘†S, and concatenate the remaining parts.More formally, choose integers ๐ฟL and ๐‘…R such that 1โ‰ค๐ฟโ‰ค๐‘…โ‰คโˆฃ๐‘†โˆฃ1โ‰คLโ‰คRโ‰คโˆฃSโˆฃ and ๐‘†๐ฟ=๐‘†๐ฟ+1=โ€ฆ=๐‘†๐‘…S Lโ€‹ =S L+1โ€‹ =โ€ฆ=S Rโ€‹ , and replace ๐‘†S with the string ๐‘†1๐‘†2โ€ฆ๐‘†๐ฟโˆ’1๐‘†๐‘…+1๐‘†๐‘…+2โ€ฆ๐‘†โˆฃ๐‘†โˆฃS 1โ€‹ S 2โ€‹ โ€ฆS Lโˆ’1โ€‹ S R+1โ€‹ S R+2โ€‹ โ€ฆS โˆฃSโˆฃโ€‹ .This reduces the length of ๐‘†S by ๐‘…โˆ’๐ฟ+1Rโˆ’L+1.Alice wins immediately when ๐‘†S doesn't contain any occurrence of 11, while Bob wins immediately when ๐‘†S doesn't contain any occurrence of 00. Both players will play to win.Note that if the string initially doesn't contain any occurrences of 00, Bob wins before any moves are made.Bob wants to win the game, so before the game starts, he can flip some characters of ๐‘†S.That is, Bob can choose an index ๐‘–i (1โ‰ค๐‘–โ‰ค๐‘1โ‰คiโ‰คN), and set ๐‘†๐‘–S iโ€‹ to 00 if it was originally 11, and vice versa.Find the minimum number of flips Bob needs to make to ensure he can win.Input FormatThe first line of input will contain a single integer ๐‘‡T, denoting the number of test cases.Each test case consists of two lines of input.The first line of each test case contains one integer ๐‘N โ€” the length of ๐‘†S.The second line contains the binary string ๐‘†S.Output FormatFor each test case, output on a new line the minimum number of flips required in ๐‘†S to make Bob win.Constraints1โ‰ค๐‘‡โ‰ค1051โ‰คTโ‰ค10 5 1โ‰ค๐‘โ‰ค2โ‹…1051โ‰คNโ‰ค2โ‹…10 5 ๐‘†S is a binary string, i.e, contains only the characters 00 and 11.The sum of ๐‘N over all test cases won't exceed 2โ‹…1052โ‹…10 5 .Sample 1:InputOutput31031116011001101Explanation:Test case 11: Bob changes the only character of ๐‘†S, resulting in ๐‘†=1S=1.There are no 00's in this string, so Bob wins automatically.Test case 22: There are no 00's in the string, so Bob wins without having to change anything.Test case 33: Bob can flip the first character of the string, turning it into 111001111001.It can be shown that if the game is played on this string, Bob will win; whereas he would lose if the game is played on the initial string.

You are given a binary string s that contains at least one '1'.You have to rearrange the bits in such a way that the resulting binary number is the maximum odd binary number that can be created from this combination.Return a string representing the maximum odd binary number that can be created from the given combination.Note that the resulting string can have leading zeros.
