Solution: Jump Game
Understand how to solve the Jump Game problem using a greedy technique that works backward from the last index. Learn to efficiently decide if the start of the array can reach the end by updating the target position step-by-step, ensuring an optimal O(n) time and O(1) space complexity solution.
Statement
You are given an integer array nums, where each element represents the maximum number of steps you can move forward from that position. You always start at index (the first element), and at each step, you may jump to any of the next positions within the range allowed by the current element’s value. Return TRUE if you can reach the last index, or FALSE otherwise.
Constraints:
-
nums.length
