Answer 1

Problem Breakdown / how to solve:

* Use a loop, going through each character in the string
* Use 2 variables.
- One to store the largest consecutive streak (of 1's)
- One to store the Current consecutive streak (of 1's)

* Inside the loop, if the character is a 1,the current streak is incremented
If the character is a 0, and the current streak is larger than the max streak, the max streak is set to the current streak.
Reset the current streak.

* After the loop is complete, the variable for the max streak is the answer
