Problem Overview
Longest Balanced Substring I (Unknown) asks you to solve a structured algorithmic task. This is a common String pattern in coding interviews. Find longest substring with equal 0s and 1s using prefix sum approach.
A full step-by-step explanation is being added. See the study guide for pattern-based practice.

{
public int LongestBalanced(string s)
{
int n = s.Length;
int[] cnt = new int[26];
int ans = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
{
Array.Clear(cnt, 0, cnt.Length);
int mx = 0, v = 0;
for (int j = i; j < n; ++j)
{
int c = s[j] - 'a';
if (++cnt[c] == 1)
++v;
mx = Math.Max(mx, cnt[c]);
if (mx * v == j - i + 1)
ans = Math.Max(ans, j - i + 1);
