Jump Game II
Jump Game II
You are given a 0-indexed array of integers nums of length n. You are initially positioned at nums[0].
Each element nums[i] represents the maximum length of a forward jump from index i. In other words, if you are at nums[i], you can jump to any nums[i + j] where:
0 <= j <= nums[i], andi + j < n
Return the minimum number of jumps to reach nums[n - 1].
The test cases are generated such that you can always reach nums[n - 1].
Examples
Example 1:
Input: nums = [2, 3, 1, 1, 4]
Output: 2
Explanation: The 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.Example 2:
Input: nums = [2, 3, 0, 1, 4]
Output: 2
Explanation: Jump 1 step from index 0 to 1, then 3 steps to the last index.Example 3:
Input: nums = [1]
Output: 0
Explanation: You are already at the last index. No jumps needed.Constraints
1 <= nums.length <= 10^40 <= nums[i] <= 1000- It is guaranteed that you can reach
nums[n - 1].
Expected Complexity
- Time: O(n)
- Space: O(1)
