657. Judge Route Circle


Initially, there is a Robot at position (0, 0). Given a sequence of its moves, judge if this robot makes a circle, which means it moves back to the original place.

The move sequence is represented by a string. And each move is represent by a character. The valid robot moves are R (Right), L (Left), U (Up) and D (down). The output should be true or false representing whether the robot makes a circle.

Example 1:

Input: "UD"
Output: true

Example 2:

Input: "LL"
Output: false

Approach #1: Simulation [Accepted]

Intuition

\n

We can simulate the position of the robot after each command.

\n

Algorithm

\n

Initially, the robot is at (x, y) = (0, 0). If the move is \'U\', the robot goes to (x, y-1); if the move is \'R\', the robot goes to (x, y) = (x+1, y), and so on.
