Maximal Consecutive Ones

You are given a binary array consisting of only 0's and 1's. Your task is to find the maximum number of consecutive 1's in the array that can be obtained by flipping at most one 0 to a 1. Write a function that takes the input data and returns the maximum length of consecutive 1's obtainable. Input Format: - The first line contains an integer n (1 ≤ n ≤ 1000) — the size of the binary array. - The second line contains n space-separated integers (0 or 1) — the binary elements of the array. Output Format: - Print the maximum length of consecutive 1's obtainable by flipping at most one 0. Example: Input: 10 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 Output: 7
