Code Review
The pull request introduces a solution for LeetCode problem 1758, "Minimum Changes To Make Alternating Binary String." The README.md file and the module inclusion in src/leetcode/mod.rs are correctly implemented. However, the core logic within the min_operations function in src/leetcode/algorithm_1758/mod.rs contains a critical error. The current implementation's approach to counting operations by swapping zero_first and one_first in each iteration does not correctly solve the problem, leading to incorrect results for certain inputs, as demonstrated by the failing test case "1111".

The logic within the min_operations function is incorrect for solving the "Minimum Changes To Make Alternating Binary String" problem. The current approach of swapping zero_first and one_first in each iteration does not correctly track the operations needed to achieve an alternating binary string. This leads to incorrect results, as shown by the "1111" test case failing (expected 2, got 0).
To correctly solve this, you need to calculate the operations required for two possible alternating patterns: one starting with '0' (e.g., "01010...") and another starting with '1' (e.g., "10101..."). Then, return the minimum of these two counts.
let mut ops_start_zero = 0; // Operations if target is "0101..."
let mut ops_start_one = 0; // Operations if target is "1010..."
for (i, byte) in s.bytes().enumerate() {
if i % 2 == 0 { // Even index
if byte == b'0' {
ops_start_one += 1; // Target '1' but got '0'
} else { // byte == b'1'
ops_start_zero += 1; // Target '0' but got '1'
}
} else { // Odd index
if byte == b'0' {
ops_start_zero += 1; // Target '1' but got '0'
} else { // byte == b'1'
ops_start_one += 1; // Target '0' but got '1'
}
}
}
ops_start_zero.min(ops_start_one)
