Solution: Jump Game
Explore the Jump Game problem and understand how to use a greedy technique to determine if you can reach the last index from the start. This lesson guides you through setting a target index and moving backward through the array to update the target based on jump capabilities. Discover an efficient solution with linear time and constant space complexity that avoids redundant computations.
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
