Solution: Jump Game
Explore the Jump Game problem and discover how to use a greedy algorithm to determine if the last index is reachable from the start. This lesson guides you step-by-step through optimizing your approach by working backward, ensuring a linear time and constant 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
