55. Jump Game

Medium

---

You are given an integer array nums. You are initially positioned at the array's first index, and each element in the array represents your maximum jump length at that position.

Return true if you can reach the last index, or false otherwise.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [2,3,1,1,4]
Output: true
Explanation: Jump 1 step from index 0 to 1, then 3 steps to the last index.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [3,2,1,0,4]
Output: false
Explanation: You will always arrive at index 3 no matter what. Its maximum jump length is 0, which makes it impossible to reach the last index.

Constraints:

• 1 <= nums.length <= 104

• 0 <= nums[i] <= 105

class Solution:
    def canJump(self, nums: List[int]) -> bool:
        target = len(nums)-1
        maxJump = 0
        index = 0
        # If Current Index goes greater than maxJump (totally done till now) so far break the loop
        while index <= maxJump:
            maxJump = max(index + nums[index], maxJump)
            if maxJump >= target:
                return True
            index += 1
        return False
