Simple Fun #170: Sum Groups

Given an array of integers, sum consecutive even numbers and consecutive odd numbers. Repeat the process while it can be done and return the length of the final array.

Example

For arr = [2, 1, 2, 2, 6, 5, 0, 2, 0, 5, 5, 7, 7, 4, 3, 3, 9]

The result should be 6.

[2, 1, 2, 2, 6, 5, 0, 2, 0, 5, 5, 7, 7, 4, 3, 3, 9]  -->
         2+2+6       0+2+0     5+5+7+7       3+3+9
[2, 1,   10,    5,    2,        24,     4,   15   ] -->
                               2+24+4
[2, 1,   10,    5,             30,           15   ]
The length of final array is 6

Input/Output

• [input] integer array arr

  A non-empty array,

  1 ≤ arr.length ≤ 1000

  0 ≤ arr[i] ≤ 1000

• [output] an integer

  The length of the final array
