Determine Color of a Chessboard Square

You are given coordinates, a string that represents the coordinates of a square of the chessboard.

Return true if the square is white, and false if the square is black.

The coordinate will always represent a valid chessboard square. The coordinate will always have the letter first, and the number second.

Example 1
Inputcoordinates = "a1"
Outputfalse
From the chessboard above, the square with coordinates "a1" is black, so return false.
Example 2
Inputcoordinates = "h3"
Outputtrue
From the chessboard above, the square with coordinates "h3" is white, so return true.

Constraints

  • coordinates.length == 2
  • 'a' <= coordinates[0] <= 'h'
  • '1' <= coordinates[1] <= '8'
