/**
 * 525. Contiguous Array
 *
 * https://leetcode.com/problems/contiguous-array/
 *
 * Max Contiguous Array with Equal Number of 0 and 1
 *
 * Given a binary array, find the maximum length of a contiguous subarray with equal number of 0 and 1.
 *
 * Example 1:
 *
 * Input: [0,1]
 * Output: 2
 *
 * Explanation: [0, 1] is the longest contiguous subarray with equal number of 0 and 1.
 *
 * Example 2:
 *
 * Input: [0,1,0]
 * Output: 2
 *
 * Explanation: [0, 1] (or [1, 0]) is a longest contiguous subarray with equal number of 0 and 1.
 *
 * Note: The length of the given binary array will not exceed 50,000.
