Problem: Lemonade Change

Medium
30 min
Understand how to solve the Lemonade Change problem by implementing an efficient algorithm that verifies if correct change can be provided to every customer. This lesson helps you practice applying greedy strategies and managing resources in O(n) time with constant space. Gain confidence in assessing problem statements and designing optimal solutions.

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.
