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 has been almost 2 years since i started on programming, this was my first classical problem, i failed misserably on solving it, now i come back and it was way more simple to solve. Even thought the problem is quite easy, it has trickie cases that are not obvious if you don't play the game Last edit: 2014-04-12 23:24:54 |

Consider winning cases of X and O with the plot that is allowed in each case. And you are done. |

friends be careful: in this x can win twice over diagonals. not considering will lead to WA. Last edit: 2013-05-14 13:30:41 |

@Tigran Galstyan In case 1 XXO OOX OXX chance num of X is 1 3 5 7 9 here O had won thus no extra X ,ie, game finishes at chance num 8 ; thus invalid !!! |
