Predict the winner of the game on the basis of absolute difference of sum by selecting numbers

Given an array of N numbers. Two players X and Y play a game where at every step one player selects a number. One number can be selected only once. After all the numbers have been selected, player X wins if the absolute difference between the sum of numbers collected by X and Y is divisible by 4, else Y wins.
Note: Player X starts the game and numbers are selected optimally at every step.
Examples:

Input: a[] = {4, 8, 12, 16}
Output: X
X chooses 4
Y chooses 12
X chooses 8
Y chooses 16
|(4 + 8) – (12 + 16)| = |12 – 28| = 16 which is divisible by 4.
Hence, X wins
Input: a[] = {7, 9, 1}
Output: Y

Approach: The following steps can be followed to solve the problem:

Initialize count0, count1, count2 and count3 to 0.
Iterate for every number in the array and increase the above counters accordingly if a[i] % 4 == 0, a[i] % 4 == 1, a[i] % 4 == 2 or a[i] % 4 == 3.
If count0, count1, count2 and count3 are all even numbers then X wins else Y will win.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to decide the winner
int decideWinner(int a[], int n)
{
    int count0 = 0;
    int count1 = 0;
    int count2 = 0;
    int count3 = 0;
 
    // Iterate for all numbers in the array
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
 
        // Condition to count
 
        // If mod gives 0
        if (a[i] % 4 == 0)
            count0++;
 
        // If mod gives 1
        else if (a[i] % 4 == 1)
            count1++;
 
        // If mod gives 2
        else if (a[i] % 4 == 2)
            count2++;
 
        // If mod gives 3
        else if (a[i] % 4 == 3)
            count3++;
    }
 
    // Check the winning condition for X
    if (count0 % 2 == 0
        && count1 % 2 == 0
        && count2 % 2 == 0
        && count3 % 2 == 0)
        return 1;
    else
        return 2;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
 
    int a[] = { 4, 8, 5, 9 };
    int n = sizeof(a) / sizeof(a[0]);
    if (decideWinner(a, n) == 1)
        cout << "X wins";
    else
        cout << "Y wins";
 
    return 0;
}
