Split a String in Balanced Strings

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

Given a balanced string s, split it into some number of substrings such that:

  • Each substring is balanced.

Return the maximum number of balanced strings you can obtain.

Example 1
Inputs = "RLRRLLRLRL"
Output4
s can be split into "RL", "RRLL", "RL", "RL", each substring contains same number of 'L' and 'R'.
Example 2
Inputs = "RLRRRLLRLL"
Output2
s can be split into "RL", "RRRLLRLL", each substring contains same number of 'L' and 'R'; it cannot be split into "RL", "RR", "RL", "LR", "LL" because the 2nd and 5th substrings are not balanced.

Constraints

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