Flip Game
Source
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
two consecutive "++" 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 compute all possible states of the string after one valid move.
For example, given s = "++++", after one move, it may become one of the following
states:
[
"--++",
"+--+",
"++--"
]
Java
public List<String> generatePossibleNextMoves(String s) {
List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
for (int i = 1; i < s.length(); i++) {
if (s.charAt(i) == '+' && s.charAt(i - 1) == '+') {
list.add(s.substring(0, i - 1) + "--" + s.substring(i + 1, s.length()));
}
}
return list;
}
