I guess, this is not the correct greedy approach. For number $$$20302$$$, your code gives answer $$$0$$$ whereas it should be $$$3$$$.
In my opinion, the correct greedy would be what you are doing, and additionally if you encounter $$$0$$$, $$$3$$$, $$$6$$$ or $$$9$$$ make a separator there.
Exactly, the better greedy aprroach is using DP, then $$$dp_i$$$ means the answer when we consider first $$$i$$$ elements, it can be updated in two ways, the last block which has $$$ith$$$ position is divisible by 3, or not, if not then $$$dp_i$$$ will be equal to $$$dp_{i-1}$$$, and otherwise cut the smallest block which is divisible by 3, then $$$dp_i$$$ will be $$$dp_j+1$$$(finding the smallest block can be done whit a precalculation with $$$O(n)$$$ time).
The whole problem will be $$$O(n)$$$.
This might help you.
Thanks a lot poduingi
