TOE1 - Tic-Tac-Toe ( I ) |
Tic Tac Toe is a child's game played on a 3 by 3 grid. One player, X, starts by placing an X at an unoccupied grid position. Then the other player, O, places an O at an unoccupied grid position. Play alternates between X and O until the grid is filled or one player's symbols occupy an entire line (vertical, horizontal, or diagonal) in the grid.
We will denote the initial empty Tic Tac Toe grid with nine dots. Whenever X or O plays we fill in an X or an O in the appropriate position. The example below illustrates each grid configuration from the beginning to the end of a game in which X wins.
Your job is to read a grid and to determine whether or not it could possibly be part of a valid Tic Tac Toe game. That is, is there a series of plays that can yield this grid somewhere between the start and end of the game?
Input
The first line of input contains N, the number of test cases. 4N-1 lines follow, specifying N grid configurations separated by empty lines.
Output
For each case print "yes" or "no" on a line by itself, indicating whether or not the configuration could be part of a Tic Tac Toe game.
Example
Input: 2 X.O OO. XXX O.X XX. OOO Output: yes no

It doesn't cover all test cases, after getting AC. I rechecked my code found out that this test case: 1 XXX XOO XOO had output of yes. [Simes]: Yes is the correct answer. Last edit: 2024-11-19 06:45:25 |

My Idea is as simple as counting number of x and number of o and x has to be greater than o at most 1 (1 || 0) and it gives WA i don't know why? Some help! |

I was insisting on getting this accepted without BFS and after 6 "Wrong answer" submissions, I managed to get it "Accepted" when I noticed that if (O) wins the game the number of points with (X) must equal the number of (O) points. |

Try possible layouts using BFS. |

I was stuck in these cases: OOX OOX XXX -yes OXO XXX OXO -yes |

This can be solved without bfs , pretty easily. Just divide into some cases. |

i honestly dont understand whats wrong with my code, I already test many test cases and it still says my answer is wrong, can someone take a look at my code and tell me whats wrong |

Read the last statement carefully! The grid is not supposed to be winning combination only rather it might be the anywhere of the game (from Starting to Ending ) reminder : Just simple tic-tac-toe game and so, there is no corner case to be handled.If you are thinking about corner cases you are complicating it.
