今天的题目有点智障。。。

今天的题目是Nim Game:

You are playing the following Nim Game with your friend: There is a heap of stones on the table, each time one of you take turns to remove 1 to 3 stones. The one who removes the last stone will be the winner. You will take the first turn to remove the stones.

Both of you are very clever and have optimal strategies for the game. Write a function to determine whether you can win the game given the number of stones in the heap.

For example, if there are 4 stones in the heap, then you will never win the game: no matter 1, 2, or 3 stones you remove, the last stone will always be removed by your friend.

很自然的想到用dp去做,然而时间超限了:

bool canWinNim1(int n) {
if (n <= 3) return true;
vector<bool> dp(n+1,false);
dp[1] = dp[2] = dp[3] = true;
for(int i = 4;i <= n;i++) {
dp[i] = !(dp[i-1] && dp[i-2] && dp[i-3]);
// if (dp[i] == false) cout << i << " ";
}
// cout << endl;
return dp[n];
}

false的值输出来之后,发现,只要不是4的倍数就会赢。

bool canWinNim(int n) {
return n % 4;
