Given a binary string s, you can split s into 3 non-empty strings s1, s2, and s3 where s1 + s2 + s3 = s.
Return the number of ways s can be split such that the number of ones is the same in s1, s2, and s3. Since the answer may be too large, return it modulo 109 + 7.
Example 1:
Input: s = "10101" Output: 4 Explanation: There are four ways to split s in 3 parts where each part contain the same number of letters '1'. "1|010|1" "1|01|01" "10|10|1" "10|1|01"
Example 2:
Input: s = "1001" Output: 0
Example 3:
Input: s = "0000" Output: 3 Explanation: There are three ways to split s in 3 parts. "0|0|00" "0|00|0" "00|0|0"
Constraints:
3 <= s.length <= 105s[i]is either'0'or'1'.
Hints
Hint 1
There is no way if the sum (number of '1's) is not divisible by the number of splits. So sum%3 should be 0.
Hint 2
Preffix s1 , and suffix s3 should have sum/3 characters '1'.
Hint 3
Follow up: Can you generalize the problem with numbers between [-10^9, 10^9] such the sum between subarrays s1, s2, s3 are the same?
