Tic-Tac-Toe Winner

Decide the result of a tic-tac-toe board.

Problem

A 3×3 board is given as three strings of X, O and . (empty). A player wins with three of their marks in a row, column or diagonal. Boards never have two winners.

Implement tic_tac_toe_winner(board).

Input

board: Three rows of three characters each.

Output

Return "X" or "O" for the winner, "Draw" if the board is full with no winner, or "Pending" if empty cells remain and nobody has won.

Constraints

board has exactly 3 rows of length 3

Examples

Example 1
Input:
board = ["XOX", ".X.", "O.X"]

Expected output:
expected = "X"
Input:
std::vector<std::string> board = {"XOX", ".X.", "O.X"};

Expected output:
std::string expected = "X";
Input:
string[] board = new string[] {"XOX", ".X.", "O.X"};

Expected output:
string expected = "X";

Explanation

X holds the diagonal from top-left to bottom-right, so X wins.

Example 2
Input:
board = ["XOX", "XOO", "OXX"]

Expected output:
expected = "Draw"
Input:
std::vector<std::string> board = {"XOX", "XOO", "OXX"};

Expected output:
std::string expected = "Draw";
Input:
string[] board = new string[] {"XOX", "XOO", "OXX"};

Expected output:
string expected = "Draw";

Explanation

The board is full and no line has three of a kind: Draw.
