Problem solution in Python.

class Solution(object):
    def magicalString(self, n):
        """
        :type n: int
        :rtype: int
        """
        q = collections.deque()

        for _ in range(n):
            q.append(num)
            res += num == 1
            cnt += 1

                cnt = 0
                num ^= mask
        return res

Problem solution in Java.

class Solution {
    public int magicalString(int n) {
      
        int[] A = new int[n+2];
        
        int fast=1;
        int slow=1;
        int num= 1;

        while(fast<=n){
            A[fast++] = num; 
            if (A[slow++]==2){
                A[fast++] = num;
