You are given a string s consisting only of the characters '0' and '1'. In one operation, you can change any '0' to '1' or vice versa. The string is called alternating if no two adjacent characters are equal. For example, the string "010" is alternating, while the string "0100" is not. Return the minimum number of operations needed to make s alternating.

You are given an integer n. Form a new integer x by concatenating all the non-zero digits of n in their original order. If there are no non-zero digits, x = 0. Let sum be the sum of digits in x. Return an integer representing the value of x * sum.
