Easy


You are given a binary string s consisting only of zeroes and ones.

A substring of s is considered balanced if all zeroes are before ones and the number of zeroes is equal to the number of ones inside the substring. Notice that the empty substring is considered a balanced substring.

Return the length of the longest balanced substring of s.

A substring is a contiguous sequence of characters within a string.

 

Example 1:

Input: s = "01000111"
Output: 6
Explanation: The longest balanced substring is "000111", which has length 6.

Example 2:

Input: s = "00111"
Output: 4
Explanation: The longest balanced substring is "0011", which has length 4. 

Example 3:

Input: s = "111"
Output: 0
Explanation: There is no balanced substring except the empty substring, so the answer is 0.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= s.length <= 50
  • '0' <= s[i] <= '1'
