Problem
You are given a binary string s
and a positive integer k
.
You can apply the following operation on the string any number of times:
- Choose any substring of size
k
froms
and flip all its characters, that is, turn all1
's into0
's, and all0
's into1
's.
Return the number of distinct strings you can obtain. Since the answer may be too large, return it modulo 109 + 7
.
Note that:
- A binary string is a string that consists only of the characters
0
and1
. - A substring is a contiguous part of a string.

Example 1:
Input: s = "1001", k = 3 Output: 4 Explanation: We can obtain the following strings: - Applying no operation on the string gives s = "1001". - Applying one operation on the substring starting at index 0 gives s = "0111". - Applying one operation on the substring starting at index 1 gives s = "1110". - Applying one operation on both the substrings starting at indices 0 and 1 gives s = "0000". It can be shown that we cannot obtain any other string, so the answer is 4.
Example 2:
Input: s = "10110", k = 5 Output: 2 Explanation: We can obtain the following strings: - Applying no operation on the string gives s = "10110". - Applying one operation on the whole string gives s = "01001". It can be shown that we cannot obtain any other string, so the answer is 2.
