Notes

Welcome to Part 2 of Jump Game II from the LeetCode Top Interview 150 series!

In the previous episode, we engineered brute-force, memoized, and dynamic programming strategies.
Today, we’re unlocking the gold-standard solution — the O(n) Greedy Algorithm, the exact pattern most FAANG interviewers expect.

🚀 What You’ll Learn in This Video

  • How to track the current jump window
  • How maxReachableIdx predicts your next optimal landing zone
  • How we guarantee the minimum number of jumps in a single forward pass
  • What to return if the end is not reachable

This is the final and most efficient piece of the Jump Game II puzzle — concise, scalable, and production-grade.

Perfect for interview prep and competitive programming.

Stay tuned for more LeetCode 150 high-performance breakdowns!
