Zeros And Ones

This is somebody’s homework problem:

Given an array containing only zeros and ones, find the index of the zero that, if converted to one, will make the longest sequence of ones. For instance, given the array [1,0,1,1,1,0,1,1,1,1,0,1,1,1,1,0,0,1,1], replacing the zero at index 10 (counting from 0) forms a sequence of 9 ones.

Your task is to write a program that determines where to replace a zero with a one to make the maximum length subsequence. When you are finished, you are welcome to read or run a suggested solution, or to post your own solution or discuss the exercise in the comments below.
