Python Coding challenge - Day 533| What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

Code Explanation:

Function Definition

def can_jump(nums):

Defines a function named can_jump that takes a list nums.

Initialize Reach

    reach = 0

reach keeps track of the farthest index you can currently jump to.

Initially, you're at index 0, so the reach is 0.

Loop Over Elements with Index

    for i, n in enumerate(nums):

Loops through the array while getting both the index i and the value n at each index.

i is your current position.

n is how far you can jump from this position.

Check If Current Position is Reachable

        if i > reach:

            return False

If you're standing on an index that's greater than the farthest you've been able to reach, you can't proceed—so return False.

Update Maximum Reach

        reach = max(reach, i + n)

From the current position i, the farthest you can go is i + n.

Update reach to the maximum of the current reach and i + n.

If Loop Finishes, You Can Reach the End

    return True

If you never hit a point that is unreachable, return True.

Final reach is 8, which is beyond the last index (4).

Output:

True
