<p>You are given a positive integer <code>n</code>.</p>

<p>A binary string <code>x</code> is <strong>valid</strong> if all <span data-keyword="substring-nonempty">substrings</span> of <code>x</code> of length 2 contain <strong>at least</strong> one <code>&quot;1&quot;</code>.</p>

<p>Return all <strong>valid</strong> strings with length <code>n</code><strong>, </strong>in <em>any</em> order.</p>
