Find Winner on a Tic Tac Toe Game

Tic-tac-toe is played by two players A and B on a 3 x 3 grid. The rules of Tic-Tac-Toe are:

  • Players take turns placing characters into empty squares ' '.
  • The first player A always places 'X' characters, while the second player B always places 'O' characters.
  • 'X' and 'O' characters are always placed into empty squares, never on filled ones.
  • The game ends when there are three of the same non-empty character filling any row, column, or diagonal.
  • The game also ends if all squares are non-empty.
  • No more moves can be played if the game is over.

Given a 2D integer array moves where moves[i] = [rowi, coli] indicates that the i^th move will be played on grid[rowi][coli], return the winner of the game if it exists (A or B). If the game ends in a draw, return "Draw". If there are still movements to play, return "Pending".

You can assume that moves is valid, meaning it follows the rules of Tic-Tac-Toe, the grid is initially empty, and A will play first.

Example 1
Inputmoves = [[0,0],[2,0],[1,1],[2,1],[2,2]]
Output"A"
A wins, they always play first.
Example 2
Inputmoves = [[0,0],[1,1],[0,1],[0,2],[1,0],[2,0]]
Output"B"
B wins.

Constraints

  • 1 <= moves.length <= 9
  • moves[i].length == 2
  • 0 <= rowi, coli <= 2
  • There are no repeated elements on moves.
  • moves follow the rules of tic tac toe.
