Hi, here’s your problem today. This problem was recently asked by Facebook:
Starting at index 0, for an element n at index i, you are allowed to jump at most n indexes ahead. Given a list of numbers, find the minimum number of jumps to reach the end of the list.
Example: Input: [3, 2, 5, 1, 1, 9, 3, 4] Output: 2 Explanation:
The minimum number of jumps to get to the end of the list is 2: 3 -> 5 -> 4
Here’s a starting point:
def jumpToEnd(nums):
Fill this in.
print jumpToEnd([3, 2, 5, 1, 1, 9, 3, 4])
