You are playing the following Nim Game with your friend:
Initially, there is a heap of stones on the table.
You and your friend will alternate taking turns, and you go first.
On each turn, the person whose turn it is will remove 1 to 3 stones from the heap.
The one who removes the last stone is the winner.
Given n, the number of stones in the heap, return true if you can win the game assuming both you and your friend play optimally, otherwise return false.
LeetCode Problem - 292
class Solution {
// Method to determine if the player can win the Nim game with 'n' stones
public boolean canWinNim(int n) {
// If the number of stones is a multiple of 4, the opponent can force a win, so return false
if(n % 4 == 0) return false;
// If the number of stones is not a multiple of 4, the player can force a win, so return true
return true;
}
}
