Split a String in Balanced Strings

Problem statement

Balanced strings are those that have an 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 split balanced strings.

Example 1:

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

Example 2:

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

Example 3:

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

Constraints:

  • 1 <= s.length <= 1000
  • s[i] is either 'L' or 'R'.
  • s is a balanced string.
