Design Tic-Tac-Toe

Explore how to implement a Tic-Tac-Toe game class that efficiently tracks player moves on an n by n board. Learn to manage valid moves, detect winning conditions, and return game outcomes dynamically. Understand key concepts behind game state tracking applicable to coding interviews and system design problems.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

Suppose that two players are playing a tic-tac-toe game on an n×nn \times n board. They’re following specific rules to play and win the game:

  • A move is guaranteed to be valid if a mark is placed on an empty block.
