+Challenge 097

+TASK #2 › Binary Substings
+Submitted by: Mohammad S Anwar
+You are given a binary string $B and an integer $S.
+
+Write a script to split the binary string $B of size $S and then find the
+minimum number of flips required to make it all the same.
+
+Example 1:
+Input: $B = “101100101”, $S = 3
+Output: 1
+
+Binary Substrings:
+    "101": 0 flip
+    "100": 1 flip to make it "101"
+    "101": 0 flip
+Example 2:
+Input $B = “10110111”, $S = 4
+Output: 2
+
+Binary Substrings:
+    "1011": 0 flip
+    "0111": 2 flips to make it "1011"
