Description
There are n coins with different value in a line. Two players take turns to take one or two coins from left side until there are no more coins left. The player who take the coins with the most value wins.
Could you please decide the first player will win or lose?
If the first player wins, return true
, otherwise return false
.
Example
Example 1:
Input: [1, 2, 2] Output: true Explanation: The first player takes 2 coins.
Example 2:
Input: [1, 2, 4] Output: false Explanation: Whether the first player takes 1 coin or 2,
the second player will gain more value.
