Environment: Python 3.8

Key technique: %

Alice and Bob take turns playing a game, with Alice starting first.

Initially, there is a number N on the chalkboard. On each player's turn, that player makes a move consisting of:

  • Choosing any x with 0 < x < N and N % x == 0.
  • Replacing the number N on the chalkboard with N - x.

Also, if a player cannot make a move, they lose the game.

Return True if and only if Alice wins the game, assuming both players play optimally.

Example 1:

Input: 2
Output: true
Explanation: Alice chooses 1, and Bob has no more moves.

Example 2:

Input: 3
Output: false
Explanation: Alice chooses 1, Bob chooses 1, and Alice has no more moves.

Analysis:

  1. If input % 2 =0, return True.
  2. If input %2 !=0, return False.

Solution:

class Solution:
def divisorGame(self, N: int) -> bool:
return N%2==0
