On an infinite plane, a robot initially stands at (0, 0) and faces north. Note that:

\n\n\n\n

The robot can receive one of three instructions:

\n\n\n\n

The robot performs the instructions given in order, and repeats them forever.

\n\n

Return true if and only if there exists a circle in the plane such that the robot never leaves the circle.

Example 1:

\n\n
\nInput: instructions = "GGLLGG"\nOutput: true\nExplanation: The robot is initially at (0, 0) facing the north direction.\n"G": move one step. Position: (0, 1). Direction: North.\n"G": move one step. Position: (0, 2). Direction: North.\n"L": turn 90 degrees anti-clockwise. Position: (0, 2). Direction: West.\n"L": turn 90 degrees anti-clockwise. Position: (0, 2). Direction: South.\n"G": move one step. Position: (0, 1). Direction: South.\n"G": move one step. Position: (0, 0). Direction: South.\nRepeating the instructions, the robot goes into the cycle: (0, 0) --> (0, 1) --> (0, 2) --> (0, 1) --> (0, 0).\nBased on that, we return true.\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: instructions = "GG"\nOutput: false\nExplanation: The robot is initially at (0, 0) facing the north direction.\n"G": move one step. Position: (0, 1). Direction: North.\n"G": move one step. Position: (0, 2). Direction: North.\nRepeating the instructions, keeps advancing in the north direction and does not go into cycles.\nBased on that, we return false.\n
\n\n

Example 3:

\n\n
\nInput: instructions = "GL"\nOutput: true\nExplanation: The robot is initially at (0, 0) facing the north direction.\n"G": move one step. Position: (0, 1). Direction: North.\n"L": turn 90 degrees anti-clockwise. Position: (0, 1). Direction: West.\n"G": move one step. Position: (-1, 1). Direction: West.\n"L": turn 90 degrees anti-clockwise. Position: (-1, 1). Direction: South.\n"G": move one step. Position: (-1, 0). Direction: South.\n"L": turn 90 degrees anti-clockwise. Position: (-1, 0). Direction: East.\n"G": move one step. Position: (0, 0). Direction: East.\n"L": turn 90 degrees anti-clockwise. Position: (0, 0). Direction: North.\nRepeating the instructions, the robot goes into the cycle: (0, 0) --> (0, 1) --> (-1, 1) --> (-1, 0) --> (0, 0).\nBased on that, we return true.\n
