    "task_description": "There is a circle of red and blue tiles. You are given an array of integers `colors`. The color of tile `i` is represented by `colors[i]`: `colors[i] == 0` means that tile `i` is **red**. `colors[i] == 1` means that tile `i` is **blue**. Every 3 contiguous tiles in the circle with **alternating** colors (the middle tile has a different color from its **left** and **right** tiles) is called an **alternating** group. Return the number of **alternating** groups. **Note** that since `colors` represents a **circle**, the **first** and the **last** tiles are considered to be next to each other. **Example 1:** **Input:** colors = [1,1,1] **Output:** 0 **Explanation:** **Example 2:** **Input:** colors = [0,1,0,0,1] **Output:** 3 **Explanation:** Alternating groups: ******** **Constraints:** `3 <= colors.length <= 100` `0 <= colors[i] <= 1`",
