Problem Overview

Count the Number of Substrings With Dominant Ones

Difficulty: Medium Topics: Binary strings, substrings, combinatorics
Condition: A substring has dominant ones if:

#ones >= (#zeros)^2


📌 Problem Statement

You are given a binary string s (characters '0' and '1' only).

Return the number of substrings of s that have dominant ones.

A substring has dominant ones if:

  • the number of ones in the substring is greater than or equal to the square of the number of zeros in that substring.

Formally:

ones(substring) >= zeros(substring)^2

🔍 Examples

Example 1

Input: s = "00011"
Output: 5

Explanation (dominant substrings):

ijs[i..j]#Zeros#Ones
33101
44101
230111
341102
2401112

Example 2

Input: s = "101101"
Output: 16

There are 21 total substrings; 5 do not satisfy the inequality, so 16 do.

Non-dominant examples (for clarity):

ijs[i..j]#Zeros#Ones
11010
44010
14011022
041011023
150110123


⚖️ Constraints

  • 1 ≤ s.length ≤ 4 × 10⁴
  • s consists only of characters '0' and '1'.

🧪 I/O Examples

Input:"00011"
Output: 5

Input:  "101101"
Output: 16

Happy coding — may your substrings be dominated by ones!

🧠 Logic Puzzle
Think & Arrange, Don't Just Copy-Paste

Drag and arrange the algorithm steps in the correct execution order instead of spending time typing code letter by letter.

Arrange the Algorithm Correctly 🧩

The algorithm is divided into three logical parts. Carefully rearrange each section in the correct order to form a complete and valid solution.

Understand Below Algorithm

Don't Know Current Algorithm ?  

Green text means the instruction is placed in the correct position.

Red text means the instruction is in the wrong position.

Block Colors

Instructions with the same background color indicate particular blocks start and end.

A tick mark means the instruction is correct and locked.

🔒 Locked steps cannot be moved. Only unlocked steps are draggable.

🔊 Enable sound for swap feedback and completion effects.
