Leetcode Solutions

Greedy Approach to Minimize Moves

  1. Initialize a counter moves to 0 to keep track of the minimum moves required.
  2. Initialize an index i to 0 to iterate through the string.
  3. While i is less than the length of the string: a. If the character at index i is 'X': i. Increment the moves counter by 1. ii. Increment i by 3 to skip the next two characters affected by the move. b. Else, increment i by 1 to check the next character.
  4. Return the moves counter as the result.
