1812. Determine Color of a Chessboard Square

QUESTION:

You are given coordinates, a string that represents the coordinates of a square of the chessboard. Below is a chessboard for your reference.

Return true if the square is white, and false if the square is black.

The coordinate will always represent a valid chessboard square. The coordinate will always have the letter first, and the number second.

Example 1:

Input: coordinates = "a1"
Output: false
Explanation: From the chessboard above, the square with coordinates "a1" is black, so return false.

Example 2:

Input: coordinates = "h3"
Output: true
Explanation: From the chessboard above, the square with coordinates "h3" is white, so return true.

Example 3:

Input: coordinates = "c7"
Output: false

Constraints:

coordinates.length == 2 ‘a’ <= coordinates[0] <= ‘h’ ‘1’ <= coordinates[1] <= ‘8’

EXPLANATION:

easy的题目,直接将棋盘摆出,然后查找就可以了.

SOLUTION:

class Solution {
    func squareIsWhite(_ coordinates: String) -> Bool {
        var chessboard:[[Bool]] = [
            [false,true,false,true,false,true,false,true],
            [true,false,true,false,true,false,true,false],
            [false,true,false,true,false,true,false,true],
            [true,false,true,false,true,false,true,false],
            [false,true,false,true,false,true,false,true],
            [true,false,true,false,true,false,true,false],
            [false,true,false,true,false,true,false,true],
            [true,false,true,false,true,false,true,false]
        ]
        var row:Int = Int(Array(coordinates)[0].asciiValue! - 97)
        var col:Int = Int(String(Array(coordinates)[1]))!
        return chessboard[row][col-1]
    }
}
