Beautiful String Problem Statement
Given a binary string STR
containing either '0' or '1', determine the minimum number of operations needed to make it beautiful. A binary string is called beautiful if it contains alternating 0s and 1s.
Example:
Input:
STR = '0010'
Output:
1
Explanation:
In one operation, convert the first '0' to '1', making the string '1010', which is beautiful.
Input:
The first line contains an integer 'T' which denotes the number of test cases. Each test case contains a binary string 'STR'.
Output:
For each test case, print the minimum number of operations needed to make 'STR' beautiful. Print the output of each test case in a separate line.
Constraints:
1 ≤ T ≤ 100
2 ≤ |STR| ≤ 105
STR[i] ∈ {'1', '0'}
- Time Limit: 1 sec
Note:
You do not need to print the expected output; just implement the function.
