Java 1D Array (Part 2)

Let's play a game on an array! You're standing at index of an -element array named . From some index (where ), you can perform one of the following moves:

  • Move Backward: If cell exists and contains a , you can walk back to cell .
  • Move Forward:
    • If cell contains a zero, you can walk to cell .
    • If cell contains a zero, you can jump to cell .
    • If you're standing in cell or the value of , you can walk or jump off the end of the array and win the game.

In other words, you can move from index to index , , or as long as the destination index is a cell containing a . If the destination index is greater than , you win the game.

Function Description

Complete the canWin function in the editor below.

canWin has the following parameters:

  • int leap: the size of the leap
  • int game[n]: the array to traverse

Returns

  • boolean: true if the game can be won, otherwise false

Input Format

The first line contains an integer, , denoting the number of queries (i.e., function calls).
The subsequent lines describe each query over two lines:

  1. The first line contains two space-separated integers describing the respective values of and .
  2. The second line contains space-separated binary integers (i.e., zeroes and ones) describing the respective values of .

Constraints

  • It is guaranteed that the value of is always .

Sample Input

STDIN           Function
-----           --------
4               q = 4 (number of queries)
5 3             game[] size n = 5, leap = 3 (first query)
0 0 0 0 0       game = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
6 5             game[] size n = 6, leap = 5 (second query)
0 0 0 1 1 1     . . .
6 3
0 0 1 1 1 0
3 1
0 1 0

Sample Output

YES
YES
NO
NO

Explanation

We perform the following queries:

  1. For and , we can walk and/or jump to the end of the array because every cell contains a . Because we can win, we return true.
  2. For and , we can walk to index and then jump units to the end of the array. Because we can win, we return true.
  3. For and , there is no way for us to get past the three consecutive ones. Because we cannot win, we return false.
  4. For and , there is no way for us to get past the one at index . Because we cannot win, we return false.
