/**
 * https://leetcode.com/discuss/interview-question/398026
 *
 * You're given a string S consisting of N letters 'a' and/or 'b'.
 * In one move, you can swap one letter for the other ('a' for 'b' or 'b' for 'a').
 * Write a function that returns the minimum number moves required to obtain a string containing no instances of three identical consecutive letters.
 * N is within the range [0..200_000].
 *
 * Examples
 * 1. S = "baaaaa".
 * Result is 1, because there is one move to "baabaa".
 * 2. S = "baaabbaabbba".
 * Result is 2, there four valid strings, e.g. "bbaabbaabbaa".
 * 3. S = "bbaabab".
 * Result is 0.
