LeetCode 294. Flip Game II（反转游戏II）

原题网址：https://leetcode.com/problems/flip-game-ii/

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 twoconsecutive

"++"

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 determine if the starting player can guarantee a win.

For example, given

s = "++++"

, return true. The starting player can guarantee a win by
flipping the middle

"++"

to become

"+--+"

.

Follow up:

public class Solution {
private boolean canWin(char[] sa) {
for(int i=0; i<sa.length-1; i++) {
if (sa[i]=='+' && sa[i+1]=='+') {
sa[i]='-';
sa[i+1]='-';
boolean otherCanWin = canWin(sa);
sa[i]='+';
sa[i+1]='+';
if (!otherCanWin) return true;
}
}
return false;
}
public boolean canWin(String s) {
return canWin(s.toCharArray());
}
}

这道题有个很牛的算法，我没看懂。。。
