    3227 - Vowels Game in a String\.

    Medium

    Alice and Bob are playing a game on a string.

    You are given a string s, Alice and Bob will take turns playing the following game where Alice starts first:

    • On Alice's turn, she has to remove any non-empty substring from s that contains an odd number of vowels.

    • On Bob's turn, he has to remove any non-empty substring from s that contains an even number of vowels.

    The first player who cannot make a move on their turn loses the game. We assume that both Alice and Bob play optimally.

    Return true if Alice wins the game, and false otherwise.

    The English vowels are: a, e, i, o, and u.

    Example 1:

    Input: s = "leetcoder"

    Output: true

    Explanation: Alice can win the game as follows:

    • Alice plays first, she can delete the underlined substring in <code>s = "<ins> leetco </ins>der"</code> which contains 3 vowels. The resulting string is s = "der".

    • Bob plays second, he can delete the underlined substring in <code>s = "<ins> d </ins>er"</code> which contains 0 vowels. The resulting string is s = "er".

    • Alice plays third, she can delete the whole string <code>s = "<ins>er</ins>"</code> which contains 1 vowel.

    • Bob plays fourth, since the string is empty, there is no valid play for Bob. So Alice wins the game.

    Example 2:

    Input: s = "bbcd"

    Output: false

    Explanation: There is no valid play for Alice in her first turn, so Alice loses the game.

    Constraints:

    • <code>1 <= s.length <= 10<sup>5</sup></code>

    • s consists only of lowercase English letters.
