Problem: Can Place Flowers

easy
15 min
Explore how to apply greedy algorithms to solve the problem of planting new flowers in a flowerbed without placing any two flowers in adjacent plots. Understand the problem constraints, identify valid placements, and implement an efficient solution to determine if all n flowers can be planted.

Statement

Given an integer list flowerbed, each element is either 00 (indicating an empty plot) or 11 (indicating a planted plot), and an integer n. Determine if n new flowers can be planted without violating the rule that no two flowers can be planted in adjacent plots. Return TRUE if it’s possible to plant all n flowers. Otherwise, return FALSE.

Constraints:

  • 11\leq flowerbed.length 103\leq10^3

  • 00\leq n \leq flowerbed.length

  • flowerbed[i] is 00 or 11.

  • There are no two adjacent flowers in the flowerbed.
