Jump Game (LeetCode 55) | Full solution with animations and visuals | Greedy Algorithms

[@yomamasofat413]

man every question like this just feels so exhausting. It's either some kind of trick or hack to solve the problem.

[@namanpande7644]

This is actually a very good explanation. I was able to understand because of the dry-run of the code. Thanks a lot.

[@meghan6819]

Your solutions and explanations are great!! thank you

[@arupgope2676]

your explanation is great. I have tried many dsa channels to follow. Then I find this channel. It is so great and underrated.

[@sagniksaha4179]

Explanation is awesome 💯. But i was thinking is it possible to think this soln in an interview. The very first thing came to my mind was recursion. I found this while i was going through the discussion section of leetcode. Any advices on how to think this type of soln in an interview. Any suggestion is appreciated

[@philj9594]

The only real answer is to grind these problems over and over. Just like a math class, the best way to get good is extreme repetition of practice problems. Also, sometimes you just won't get the problem in your interview and you need to focus on the next one and realize that this is normal and to not be discouraged. If you do enough problems to where you can solve even 10% of them easily and quickly, then you are able to get a job if you just get lucky enough to have those 10% of problems in your interview.

[@jamesk6884]

amazing explanation, love the video. this is my algorithm before watching ur video, it only passed 120/170 test cases when i tried to submit it. So i just wanted to know if my approach to this question is definitely incorrect. class Solution { public boolean canJump(int[] nums) { int size = nums.length-1; int sum = 0; for (int i=0; i < nums.length-1; i++){ sum += nums[i]; } if (sum-(nums.length-2)>= size){ return true; } else if (nums[0]>= nums.length-1){ return true; } else{ return false; } } } again, thx for the video

[@Shhhh-ni5jw]

With this approach, we never stop on the 0’s right? We are checking if somehow we are able to bypass

[@nikoo28]

Yes

[@Mr.NothingSpecial]

You're basically looking for the last reachable index at each iteration. That is not a greedy approach. Can you explain what do you mean by greedy approach?

[@nikoo28]

My greed is that I want to reach the last pointer from where I am standing

[@hamdasalam4373]

could you please create a video for leetcode 2483?

[@shubhamkumar-hx1fb]

i really hate kind of videos which doesnt tells the intuition why we are doing so.....there are many videos avl for this pblm and many of them are just doing the dry run of the code without telling the intuition behind their though process.... But i am really thanks to you sir that you focused more on the intuition behind the code and have not just done the dry run 😌😌

[@nikoo28]

glad you liked it

[@gurudassulebhavikar]

You could have used your Jump Game 2 solution here. Both problems are almost same.

[@SibiRanganathL]

[@filmbuzz9419]

Take a value and show it by dry run so we understand a bit more Thanks

[@subhashreesahoo5760]

Hi.. Thanks for the vide, your explanation is really good and helpful. But I do have doubt here and a request while explaining , pls consider the code also . I feel like the explanation and the dry run code somewhere I am unable to understabnd(may be I need more practice but still..) Example-> while explaining you said to go back step from 1 , that is 0, you cant reach the destination => agree but in dry run code-> idx+nums[idx] , how are you bringing these terms, like how did you think its should be in this way , its like idx=7,nums[7]=0 and you are adding both 7+0=7, so i am not getting how your idea is to add idx+nums[idex].

[@nikoo28]

If you have understood the explanation, try to write the code on your own. That is the only way you will learn. If everything else fails, only then refer to someone else’s code.

[@subhashreesahoo5760]

@@nikoo28 ok sure, Thank you, I will take your advice and implement the same.

[@abhinavprasad2828]

Okay so, I don't usually comment but yeah this video was great.

[@nikoo28]

Thank you so much

[@razataggarwal7365]

Why we are calling optimal solution as greedy algorithm ? My perspective : If I see it, we have optimized our Iterative DP (Tabulation) by going to every index from last to first and asking if i can reach target or not.

[@AshishKumar-x5l8s]

Its O(N**2) ?? Can anyone explain in case of DP

[@nikoo28]

why do you want a solution with a poor time complexity?

[@pkeditsff8405]

I didn't understand your code 😢😢😢😢

[@philj9594]

This problem is pretty advanced if you are relatively new to coding. I'm at the end of a college-level data structures course and they included this problem in the homework and the professor even admits that most people at our level will not be able to solve these leetcode 150 problems and he said you are on the right track if you can at least come up with an idea of how to solve the problems that he is giving us. My point is, if you are just completely lost, that just means you need to look at easier problems and work your way up to this. I promise you that this will make sense later on if you just don't give up. You need to be working at your current level. Even though I understand this code, there are many where I wouldn't understand just like you. Look up the "zone of proximal development" and try to find out where your zone currently is and just work within there. Your experience here is perfectly normal and expected. Don't be ashamed if you have to go back to the very basics of coding for awhile.

[@DigvijayKirti]

What if the second last element is zero? Let's dry run the provided array [3, 2, 1, 0, 4] through the given canJump method: Dry run: Initial State: lastElement = 4 (index of the last element). Iteration 1 (i = 3): i + nums[i] = 3 + 0 >= 4, which is less than lastElement. No update. Iteration 2 (i = 2): i + nums[i] = 2 + 1 >= 4, which is less than lastElement. No update Iteration 3 (i = 1): i + nums[i] = 1 + 2 >= 4, which is less than lastElement. No update Iteration 4 (i = 0): i + nums[i] = 0 + 3 >= 4, which is less than lastElement. No update Return: lastElement == 0, which is true. So, for the array [3, 2, 1, 0, 4], the canJump method returns true, indicating that it is possible to jump from the first element to the last element. Please explain I'm not able to understand the false case?

[@nikoo28]

you need to start from the last element, not the first one. watch the explanation that starts at 9:17

[@singhvishal8794]

i actually tried this code and come across a wrong ans for [1] as it is reachable at any cost so i run the loop from nums.length -1 to 0 and that worked.... and thank you for this amazing solution i stuck on this for 3 hrs straight...
