Consecutive ones with a twist in JavaScript
Problem
We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in a binary array (an array that consists of only 0 and 1), arr, as the only argument. Our function should find the maximum number of consecutive 1s in this array if we can flip at most one 0.
For example, if the input to the function is −
const arr = [1, 0, 1, 1, 0];
Then the output should be −
const output = 4;
Output Explanation
If we flip the 0 at index 1 in the array, we will get 4 consecutive 1s.
Example
The code for this will be −
const arr = [1, 0, 1, 1, 0];
const findMaximumOne = (nums = []) => {
let count = 0;
let first = -1;
let i =0, j = 0;
let res = -Infinity;
while(j < nums.length){
if(nums[j] === 1){
res = Math.max(res, j-i+1);
}else{
count++;
if(count==2){
i = first + 1;
count--;
};
first = j;
};
j++;
};
return res;
};
console.log(findMaximumOne(arr));Output
And the output in the console will be −
4
