3501. Maximize Active Section with Trade II

Description

You are given a binary string s of length n, where:

  • '1' represents an active section.
  • '0' represents an inactive section.

You can perform at most one trade to maximize the number of active sections in s. In a trade, you:

  • Convert a contiguous block of '1's that is surrounded by '0's to all '0's.
  • Afterward, convert a contiguous block of '0's that is surrounded by '1's to all '1's.

Additionally, you are given a 2D array queries, where queries[i] = [li, ri] represents a substring s[li...ri].

For each query, determine the maximum possible number of active sections in s after making the optimal trade on the substring s[li...ri].

Return an array answer, where answer[i] is the result for queries[i].

Note

  • For each query, treat s[li...ri] as if it is augmented with a '1' at both ends, forming t = '1' + s[li...ri] + '1'. The augmented '1's do not contribute to the final count.
  • The queries are independent of each other.

 

Example 1:

Input: s = "01", queries = [[0,1]]

Output: [1]

Explanation:

Because there is no block of '1's surrounded by '0's, no valid trade is possible. The maximum number of active sections is 1.

Example 2:

Input: s = "0100", queries = [[0,3],[0,2],[1,3],[2,3]]

Output: [4,3,1,1]

Explanation:

  • Query [0, 3] → Substring "0100" → Augmented to "101001"
    Choose "0100", convert "0100""0000""1111".
    The final string without augmentation is "1111". The maximum number of active sections is 4.

  • Query [0, 2] → Substring "010" → Augmented to "10101"
    Choose "010", convert "010""000""111".
    The final string without augmentation is "1110". The maximum number of active sections is 3.

  • Query [1, 3] → Substring "100" → Augmented to "11001"
    Because there is no block of '1's surrounded by '0's, no valid trade is possible. The maximum number of active sections is 1.

  • Query [2, 3] → Substring "00" → Augmented to "1001"
    Because there is no block of '1's surrounded by '0's, no valid trade is possible. The maximum number of active sections is 1.

Example 3:

Input: s = "1000100", queries = [[1,5],[0,6],[0,4]]

Output: [6,7,2]

Explanation:

  • Query [1, 5] → Substring "00010" → Augmented to "1000101"
    Choose "00010", convert "00010""00000""11111".
    The final string without augmentation is "1111110". The maximum number of active sections is 6.

  • Query [0, 6] → Substring "1000100" → Augmented to "110001001"
    Choose "000100", convert "000100""000000""111111".
    The final string without augmentation is "1111111". The maximum number of active sections is 7.

  • Query [0, 4] → Substring "10001" → Augmented to "1100011"
    Because there is no block of '1's surrounded by '0's, no valid trade is possible. The maximum number of active sections is 2.

Example 4:

Input: s = "01010", queries = [[0,3],[1,4],[1,3]]

Output: [4,4,2]

Explanation:

  • Query [0, 3] → Substring "0101" → Augmented to "101011"
    Choose "010", convert "010""000""111".
    The final string without augmentation is "11110". The maximum number of active sections is 4.

  • Query [1, 4] → Substring "1010" → Augmented to "110101"
    Choose "010", convert "010""000""111".
    The final string without augmentation is "01111". The maximum number of active sections is 4.

  • Query [1, 3] → Substring "101" → Augmented to "11011"
    Because there is no block of '1's surrounded by '0's, no valid trade is possible. The maximum number of active sections is 2.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= n == s.length <= 105
  • 1 <= queries.length <= 105
  • s[i] is either '0' or '1'.
  • queries[i] = [li, ri]
  • 0 <= li <= ri < n
