1221. Split a String in Balanced Strings (Easy)

Balanced strings are those who have equal quantity of 'L' and 'R' characters.

Given a balanced string s split it in the maximum amount of balanced strings.

Return the maximum amount of splitted balanced strings.

 

Example 1:

Input: s = "RLRRLLRLRL"
Output: 4
Explanation: s can be split into "RL", "RRLL", "RL", "RL", each substring contains same number of 'L' and 'R'.

Example 2:

Input: s = "RLLLLRRRLR"
Output: 3
Explanation: s can be split into "RL", "LLLRRR", "LR", each substring contains same number of 'L' and 'R'.

Example 3:

Input: s = "LLLLRRRR"
Output: 1
Explanation: s can be split into "LLLLRRRR".

Example 4:

Input: s = "RLRRRLLRLL"
Output: 2
Explanation: s can be split into "RL", "RRRLLRLL", since each substring contains an equal number of 'L' and 'R'

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= s.length <= 1000
  • s[i] = 'L' or 'R'

        public int balancedStringSplit(String s) {
            int count = 0;
            int position = 0;

            for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
                char c = s.charAt(i);
                if (c == 'R')
                    position++;
                else
                    position--;
                if (position == 0)
