Problem Statement

Official algorithmic problem description and constraints.

Open on LeetCode

You are given two strings, coordinate1 and coordinate2, representing the coordinates of a square on an 8 x 8 chessboard.

Below is the chessboard for reference.

Return true if these two squares have the same color and false otherwise.

The coordinate will always represent a valid chessboard square. The coordinate will always have the letter first (indicating its column), and the number second (indicating its row).

 

Example 1:

Input: coordinate1 = "a1", coordinate2 = "c3"

Output: true

Explanation:

Both squares are black.

Example 2:

Input: coordinate1 = "a1", coordinate2 = "h3"

Output: false

Explanation:

Square "a1" is black and "h3" is white.

 

Constraints:

  • coordinate1.length == coordinate2.length == 2
  • 'a' <= coordinate1[0], coordinate2[0] <= 'h'
  • '1' <= coordinate1[1], coordinate2[1] <= '8'
