Jump Game Part 2
Given an array of non-negative integers, you are initially positioned at the first index of the array. Each element in the array represents your maximum jump length at that position.
Your goal is to reach the last index in the minimum number of jumps.
Example :
Given array A = [2,3,1,1,4]
Minimum number of jumps to reach the last index is 2. (Jump 1 step from index 0 to 1, then 3 steps to the last index.)
Your goal is to reach the last index in the minimum number of jumps.
Example :
Given array A = [2,3,1,1,4]
Minimum number of jumps to reach the last index is 2. (Jump 1 step from index 0 to 1, then 3 steps to the last index.)
Discussion :
public int minSteps(int[] A) { if (A == null || A.length == 0)return 0; int lastReach = 0; int reach = 0; int steps = 0; for (int i = 0; i <= reach && i < A.length; i++) { if (i > lastReach) { steps++; lastReach = reach; } reach = Math.max(reach, A[i] + i); } if (reach < A.length - 1)return -1; return steps; }
