Array Advance Game

In this lesson, you will learn how to solve the problem of the Array Advance Game in Python.

In this lesson, we will be considering the “array advance game”. In this game, you are given an array of non-negative integers. For example:

[3,3,1,0,2,0,1]

Each number in the array represents the maximum you can advance in the array.

Problem

Now the problem is as follows:

Is it possible to advance from the start of the array to the last element given that the maximum you can advance from a position is based on the value of the array at the index you are currently present on?

We will cover how to solve this problem algorithmically, and then code up a solution to this problem in Python.

Let’s start with a simple example. Refer to the slides below:
