Minimum elements to be removed such that sum of adjacent elements is always odd | Returns the minimum number of eliminations.
Stores the previous element.
Stores the new value.
Check if the previous and current values are of same parity.
Previous value is now the current value.
Return the counter variable.
Driver code"
How can the above be solved in Python?

=====
Can you provide a code to minimum elements to be removed such that sum of adjacent elements is always odd and the other steps required?
