题目:

Design a Tic-tac-toe game that is played between two players on a n x n grid.

You may assume the following rules:

  1. A move is guaranteed to be valid and is placed on an empty block.
  2. Once a winning condition is reached, no more moves is allowed.
  3. A player who succeeds in placing n of their marks in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row wins the game.

 

Example:

Given n = 3, assume that player 1 is "X" and player 2 is "O" in the board.

TicTacToe toe = new TicTacToe(3);

toe.move(0, 0, 1); -> Returns 0 (no one wins)
|X| | |
| | | |    // Player 1 makes a move at (0, 0).
| | | |

toe.move(0, 2, 2); -> Returns 0 (no one wins)
|X| |O|
| | | |    // Player 2 makes a move at (0, 2).
| | | |

toe.move(2, 2, 1); -> Returns 0 (no one wins)
|X| |O|
| | | |    // Player 1 makes a move at (2, 2).
| | |X|

toe.move(1, 1, 2); -> Returns 0 (no one wins)
|X| |O|
| |O| |    // Player 2 makes a move at (1, 1).
| | |X|

toe.move(2, 0, 1); -> Returns 0 (no one wins)
|X| |O|
| |O| |    // Player 1 makes a move at (2, 0).
|X| |X|

toe.move(1, 0, 2); -> Returns 0 (no one wins)
|X| |O|
|O|O| |    // Player 2 makes a move at (1, 0).
|X| |X|

toe.move(2, 1, 1); -> Returns 1 (player 1 wins)
|X| |O|
|O|O| |    // Player 1 makes a move at (2, 1).
|X|X|X|

Could you do better than O(n2) per move() operation?

题解:

If the player wants to win after placing on current coordinate. 

Either the entire row or column is this player's number. 

If current coordinate is on diagonal or anti-diagonal, and entire diagonal is this player's number, player could win.

Thus have a row array, col array to track target. 

d1, d2 to track diagonal and anti-diagonal. Since there is only one diagonal and one anti-diagonal.

Have player one add +1, and player two add -1.

When it hits +5, player one wins. When it hits -5, player two wins.

TIme Complexity: move, O(1).

Space: O(n).
