10.2 Jump Game II – LeetCode 45 ⚡ Ultimate Greedy O(n) Approach | Minimum Jumps in One Pass (Part 2)
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.
