HackerEarth Largest Substring problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 2024
In this HackerEarth Largest Substring problem solution, You are given a string S of length N. Each character of the string is either 0 or 1. Now, you need to select the largest substring in which the count of 0 in the string is more than the count of 1. Print the maximum possible length of the subarray in the output.
