Problem: Lemonade Change

easy
15 min
Understand how to implement a solution for the lemonade change problem, which involves returning correct change using $5, $10, and $20 bills. Explore an optimal O(n) time and O(1) space approach to sharpen your algorithm skills for coding interviews.

Statement

There is a lemonade stand where customers can buy one lemonade at a time for $5\$5 and pay with a $5\$5, $10\$10, or $20\$20 bill. It is necessary to return the correct change to each customer so that the net transaction is completed successfully with a total payment of $5\$5. Note that no change is available initially.

Given an integer array, bills, where bills[i] represents the bill paid by the ithi^{th} customer, return TRUE if it is possible to provide every customer with the correct change, or FALSE otherwise.

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq bills.length 500\leq 500

  • bills[i] is either 55, 1010, or 2020.
