Description

You are given a binary string s of '0's and '1's. A balanced substring has all zeros before all ones with equal counts of each; the empty substring also qualifies. Return the length of the longest balanced substring of s.

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.
