Notes

In this episode of the LeetCode Top Interview 150 series, we explore two approaches to solve Jump Game — from naive recursion to an optimized greedy solution.

You’ll see:
🧩 Backtracking Approach — straightforward but impractical for large inputs; great to understand the brute-force baseline.
⚡ Greedy Reachability Algorithm — a production-grade, O(n) solution that tracks the furthest reachable index and exits early once the end becomes reachable.

If you want scalable, clean, and efficient logic for array-based reachability problems — this video shows you the path.
