    2222 - Number of Ways to Select Buildings.

    Medium

    You are given a 0-indexed binary string s which represents the types of buildings along a street where:

    • s[i] = '0' denotes that the ith building is an office and
    • s[i] = '1' denotes that the ith building is a restaurant.

    As a city official, you would like to select 3 buildings for random inspection. However, to ensure variety, no two consecutive buildings out of the selected buildings can be of the same type.

    • For example, given s = "0**0**1**1**0**1**", we cannot select the 1st, 3rd, and 5th buildings as that would form "0**11**" which is not allowed due to having two consecutive buildings of the same type.

    Return the number of valid ways to select 3 buildings.

    Example 1:

    Input: s = “001101”

    Output: 6

    Explanation: The following sets of indices selected are valid:

    • [0,2,4] from “001101” forms “010”

    • [0,3,4] from “001101” forms “010”

    • [1,2,4] from “001101” forms “010”

    • [1,3,4] from “001101” forms “010”

    • [2,4,5] from “001101” forms “101”

    • [3,4,5] from “001101” forms “101”

    No other selection is valid. Thus, there are 6 total ways.

    Example 2:

    Input: s = “11100”

    Output: 0

    Explanation: It can be shown that there are no valid selections.

    Constraints:

    • 3 <= s.length <= 105
    • s[i] is either '0' or '1'.
