Leetcode - 55. Jump Game

so this is a greedy approach

our goal is to reach the last index , so we try to reach to index 0 and if we are able to make it , then we return True otherwise False

coming from back makes it to become a sub problem

Example - [2,3,1,1,4]

the above can converted to

since anyways we can jump from 1 to 4

this again gets converted to

So now my goal is at index 0 which means , u can jump to last index if u begin from 0 index too

CODE

/**
 * @param {number[]} nums
 * @return {boolean}
 */
var canJump = function(nums) {


    let goal = nums.length-1 ; 


    for(let i = nums.length-1 ;i>=0 ;i--){

       if(i+nums[i] >= goal){

            goal = i;
       }
    }

    return goal==0
};
