Split a String in Balanced Strings

Balanced strings are those who have equal quantity of 'L' and 'R' characters.

Given a balanced string s split it in the maximum amount of balanced strings.

Return the maximum amount of splitted balanced strings.

 

Example 1:

Input: s = "RLRRLLRLRL"
Output: 4
Explanation: s can be split into "RL", "RRLL", "RL", "RL", each substring contains same number of 'L' and 'R'.

Example 2:

Input: s = "RLLLLRRRLR"
Output: 3
Explanation: s can be split into "RL", "LLLRRR", "LR", each substring contains same number of 'L' and 'R'.

Example 3:

Input: s = "LLLLRRRR"
Output: 1
Explanation: s can be split into "LLLLRRRR".

Example 4:

Input: s = "RLRRRLLRLL"
Output: 2
Explanation: s can be split into "RL", "RRRLLRLL", since each substring contains an equal number of 'L' and 'R'

Solution:

class Solution {
    public int balancedStringSplit(String s) {
        int diff = 0, count = 0;
        int i = 0, n = s.length();
        while (i < n) {
            char in = s.charAt(i);
            if (in == 'L') {
                diff ++;
            } else {
                diff --;
            }
            if (diff == 0) {
                count ++;
            }
            i ++;
        }
        return count;
    }
