tomatocream 1dec88aaf2 feat: populate note files with problem descriptions and code stubs
Add populate-notes.mjs that fetches problem descriptions and
Python/C++ code stubs from LeetCode's GraphQL API. Populated
all 197 NeetCode 150 note files with:
- Problem description (examples, constraints)
- Python code stub (function signature)
- C++ code stub (function signature + includes)

API responses cached in leetcode/.cache/leetcode/ for instant re-runs.

TODO 0045. Jump Game II   medium

You are given a 0-indexed array of integers nums of length n. You are initially positioned at index 0.

Each element nums[i] represents the maximum length of a forward jump from index i. In other words, if you are at index i, you can jump to any index (i + j) where:

  • 0 <= j <= nums[i] and
  • i + j < n

Return /the minimum number of jumps to reach index /~n - 1~. The test cases are generated such that you can reach index n - 1.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [2,3,1,1,4]
Output: 2
Explanation: The minimum number of jumps to reach the last index is 2. Jump 1 step from index 0 to 1, then 3 steps to the last index.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [2,3,0,1,4]
Output: 2

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 10^{4}
  • 0 <= nums[i] <= 1000
  • It's guaranteed that you can reach nums[n - 1].

Write your approach here.

TODO Python

class Solution:
    def jump(self, nums: List[int]) -> int:

TODO C++

class Solution {
public:
    int jump(vector<int>& nums) {
        
    }
