PROBLEM
A binary string is called a self-destructing string if it can reduced to an empty string by performing the following operation some number of times (possibly zero): Choose a valid integer i such that the i-th character of the current string is different from the i+1-th character, and remove these two characters from the string.
You are given a binary string s. Your task is to convert s to a self-destructing string. To do that, you may perform the following operation any number of times (possibly zero): Choose an integer i (1 \le i \le |s|-1) such that the i-th character of s is different from the i+1-th character, and invert one of these characters (inverting a character means changing β0β to β1β or β1β to β0β, e.g. the string β01β can be changed to β00β).
Find the smallest number of operations required to convert s to a self-destructing string or determine that it is impossible.
Constraints
- 1 \le T \le 1,000
- 1 \le |s| \le 10^6
- s contains only characters β0β and β1β
- the sum of |s| over all test cases does not exceed 10^6
EXPLANATION
The following are the cases :
- the string has odd number of characters. Then, it is obviously impossible since every deletion operation doesnβt change the parity of length.
- If the string has only 0βs or 1βs then we cannot do a change operation, and it is also non reducible, so its impossible.
- Otherwise it is just the difference between number of 1βs and 0βs, divided by 2.
