1573. Number of Ways to Split a String (Medium)
Given a binary string s (a string consisting only of '0's and '1's), we can split s into 3 non-empty strings s1, s2, s3 (s1+ s2+ s3 = s).
Return the number of ways s can be split such that the number of characters '1' is the same in s1, s2, and s3.
Since the answer may be too large, return it modulo 10^9 + 7.
Example 1:
Input: s = "10101" Output: 4 Explanation: There are four ways to split s in 3 parts where each part contain the same number of letters '1'. "1|010|1" "1|01|01" "10|10|1" "10|1|01"
Example 2:
Input: s = "1001" Output: 0
Example 3:
Input: s = "0000" Output: 3 Explanation: There are three ways to split s in 3 parts. "0|0|00" "0|00|0" "00|0|0"
Example 4:
Input: s = "100100010100110" Output: 12
Constraints:
s[i] == '0'ors[i] == '1'3 <= s.length <= 10^5

Solution 1.
First count the number of 1s. The the count is not divisible by 3, we can’t split s into 3 parts, then return 0.
If cnt == 0, what we need to do is to choose 2 out of the N - 1 gaps between the N elements to split the s, so there are combination(N - 1, 2) = (N - 1) * (N - 2) / 2 cases.
Othewise, we need to find the number of possible cases of s1 and s3 respectively.
For s1, that’s the number of 0s between the cnt/3-th (1-based) and cnt/3 + 1-th 1 from the left side, plus 1. Let this be left.
For s3, that’s the number of 0s between the cnt/3-th (1-based) and cnt/3 + 1-th 1 from the right side, plus 1. Let this be right.
And the answer is different combinations of left and right and thus is left * right.
