Jump Game II

Jump Game II is a classic follow-up to the original Jump Game problem. It’s not just about whether you can reach the end... now you have to do it in the fewest jumps possible! That small change turns a simple reachability problem into one that tests how well you can optimize greedy strategies or dynamic programming under pressure.

Jump Game

The "Jump Game" question is a popular one for interviews because it tests your ability to think greedily and work with dynamic movement through an array. It's a great warm-up for range-based greedy logic and helps build intuition for reachability problems, concepts that show up often in competitive coding and systems design.

The "Gas Station" problem is one of those deceptively simple problems that really tests your understanding of greedy strategies and circular arrays. It shows up frequently in interviews because it blends math, algorithmic reasoning, and a need for linear-time optimization. Whether you're optimizing a delivery route or designing a resource allocation system, this kind of thinking comes in handy.
