How to check if the last index of an array is reachable by jumping based on element values from index 0 in TypeScript

1 Answer

0 votes
function canReachLastIndex(arr: number[]): boolean {
    const size: number = arr.length;
    let currentIndex: number = 0;

    while (currentIndex < size) {
        // If we reach the last index, return true
        if (currentIndex === size - 1) {
            return true;
        }

        // If jump goes out of bounds, stop
        if (currentIndex + arr[currentIndex] >= size) {
            return false;
        }

        // Move to the next index by jumping
        currentIndex += arr[currentIndex];
    }

    return false;
}

function main(): void {
    const arr: number[] = [2, 3, 1, 1, 4];

    if (canReachLastIndex(arr)) {
        console.log("Yes, we can reach the last index.");
    } else {
        console.log("No, we cannot reach the last index.");
    }
}

main();



/*
run:

"Yes, we can reach the last index." 

*/
