1275 - Find Winner on a Tic Tac Toe Game.

Easy

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 ith move will be played on grid[rowi][col<sub>i</sub>]. return the winner of the game if it exists (A or B). In case the game ends in a draw return "Draw". If there are still movements to play return "Pending".

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

Output: “Draw”
