Apply a Reversi Move
Amazon● MediumFULLTIMEOAProblem statement
Given a Reversi board board, a zero-based target cell row, col, and a player player equal to B or W, apply exactly one move.
A direction captures pieces when one or more consecutive opponent pieces start next to the target and are followed, in that same direction, by one of the current player's pieces. A legal move places the player's piece and flips every captured line in all eight directions.
