Solution: Can Place Flowers

Explore how to apply a greedy approach to determine if you can plant n flowers in a flowerbed without violating adjacency rules. This lesson teaches you to examine each plot efficiently, place flowers where allowed, and return a boolean result. You will learn to implement a linear time algorithm with constant space, consolidating your understanding of greedy techniques for optimization problems.

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 ...
