Jump Game III (medium)
Problem Statement
You are given an array of non-negative integers arr and an initial position start.
Starting at start, you can jump either arr[start] steps to the right or arr[start] steps to the left.
Return true if you can reach any index in the array that contains the value 0. Otherwise, return false.
Note that you cannot jump outside the bounds of the array.
Examples
Example 1:
- Input: arr: [2, 2, 0, 3, 4], start: 1
- Output: true
- Justification: Starting from index 1, jump to index 3, then jump to index 0, and then jump to index 2, which contains 0.
Example 2:
- Input: arr: [4, 1, 2, 3, 1, 0], start: 4
- Output: true
- Justification: Starting from index 4, jump to index 5, which contains 0.
Example 3:
- Input: arr: [2, 3, 1, 1, 4], start: 0
- Output: false
- Justification: Starting from index 0, it is not possible to reach any index containing 0.
Constraints:
- 1 <= arr.length <= 5 * 10<sup>4</sup>
- 0 <= arr[i] < arr.length
- 0 <= start < arr.length
