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.
For example, given
s = "++++"
, after one move, it may become one of the following states:
[
"--++",
"+--+",
"++--"
]
If there is no valid move, return an empty list
[]
.
solution: dfs
@Test
public void test() {
String[] testcase = {"+","-","++","--","+++","++++","+--+","-+-+","+-+-"};
for(int i=0;i<testcase.length;i++){
System.out.println(getFlipResult(testcase[i]));
}
}
public List<String> getFlipResult(String s1) {
List<String> res = new ArrayList<String>();
if(s1.length()<2) return res;
dfs(s1, res, 0);
return res;
}
public void dfs(String s1, List<String> res, int len) {
for(int i=len;i<s1.length()-1;i++) {
if(s1.charAt(i) == '+' && s1.charAt(i) == s1.charAt(i+1)) {
String t1 = s1.substring(0, i) + "--" + s1.substring(i+2);
res.add(t1);
}else{
dfs(s1, res, i+1);
}
}
}
