Stone Game III
Hard
Topics
Given nums (the value of each stone in a row), Alice and Bob alternate turns with Alice first. On a turn a player takes the first 1, 2, or 3 remaining stones. Both play optimally to maximize their own total. Return Alice's score minus Bob's score (positive if Alice wins, negative if Bob wins, 0 for a tie).
Example 1
Input: nums = [1,2,3,7] Output: -4
Example 2
Input: nums = [1,2,3,6] Output: 0
Constraints
- 1 <= nums.length <= 5*10^4
- -1000 <= nums[i] <= 1000
