293. Flip Game
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 compute all possible states of the string after one valid move.
Example:
Input: s = "++++"
Output:
[
"--++",
"+--+",
"++--"
]
Note: If there is no valid move, return an empty list []
.
vector<string> generatePossibleNextMoves(string s) { // time: O(n); space: O(n)
vector<string> res;
if (s.empty()) return res;
for (int i = 0; i < s.length() - 1; ++i) {
if (s[i] == '+' && s[i + 1] == '+') {
s[i] = s[i + 1] = '-';
res.push_back(s);
s[i] = s[i + 1] = '+';
}
}
return res;
}
