alternating-groups-iii.html

<p>There are some red and blue tiles arranged circularly. You are given an array of integers <code>colors</code> and a 2D integers array <code>queries</code>.</p>

<p>The color of tile <code>i</code> is represented by <code>colors[i]</code>:</p>

<ul>
	<li><code>colors[i] == 0</code> means that tile <code>i</code> is <strong>red</strong>.</li>
	<li><code>colors[i] == 1</code> means that tile <code>i</code> is <strong>blue</strong>.</li>
</ul>

<p>An <strong>alternating</strong> group is a contiguous subset of tiles in the circle with <strong>alternating</strong> colors (each tile in the group except the first and last one has a different color from its <b>adjacent</b> tiles in the group).</p>

<p>You have to process queries of two types:</p>

<ul>
	<li><code>queries[i] = [1, size<sub>i</sub>]</code>, determine the count of <strong>alternating</strong> groups with size <code>size<sub>i</sub></code>.</li>
	<li><code>queries[i] = [2, index<sub>i</sub>, color<sub>i</sub>]</code>, change <code>colors[index<sub>i</sub>]</code> to <code>color<font face="monospace"><sub>i</sub></font></code>.</li>
</ul>

<p>Return an array <code>answer</code> containing the results of the queries of the first type <em>in order</em>.</p>

<p><strong>Note</strong> that since <code>colors</code> represents a <strong>circle</strong>, the <strong>first</strong> and the <strong>last</strong> tiles are considered to be next to each other.</p>
