You are playing the following Flip Game with your friend: Given a string that contains only these two characters: +
and -
, you and your friend take turns to flip two consecutive "++"
into "--"
. The game ends when a person can no longer make a move and therefore the other person will be the winner.
Write a function to determine if the starting player can guarantee a win.
For example, given s = "++++"
, return true. The starting player can guarantee a win by flipping the middle "++"
to become "+--+"
.

Derive your algorithm's runtime complexity.
思路:这题其实是递归的最好考题,想想怎么判断才能赢,就是自己move了之后,对方不能move,也就是调用相同的函数,对方返回如果是false,那我就应该是true。
public class Solution {
public boolean canWin(String s) {
if(s == null || s.length() <2){
return false;
}
return win(s.toCharArray());
}
public boolean win(char[] chars){
boolean canwin = false;
for(int i=0; i<chars.length-1; i++){
if(chars[i] == '+' && chars[i+1] == '+'){
chars[i] = '-';
chars[i+1] = '-';
canwin = !win(chars);
chars[i+1] = '+';
chars[i] = '+';
if(canwin){
return true;
}
}
}
return canwin;
}
}
