Solution: Jump Game
Explore how to solve the Jump Game problem by applying a backward greedy algorithm. Understand how to determine if you can reach the end of an integer array by updating the target index from the last to the first position, enabling an 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
