Given an array arr[] consisting of N pairs of integers, where each pair (a, b) represents a path from a to b, the task is to check if it is possible to reach M from 0 using the given paths in the array arr[]. If it is possible, then print “Yes”. Otherwise, print “No”.

Examples:

Input: arr[] = {{0, 2}, {2, 2}, {2, 5}, {4, 5}}, M = 5
Output: Yes
Explanation: It is possible to reach 5 from 0 using the pairs {(0, 2), (2, 5)}.

Input: arr[] = {{0, 1}, {1, 2}, {2, 4}}, M = 5
Output: No

Approach: The given problem can be solved by finding the rightmost point from 0 by using the given array of path as a pair and then if the rightmost point is greater than equal to M that means there is a path between 0 to M. Otherwise, it is not. Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

  • Initialize an array, say rightMost[] and dp[] that stores the farther point than can reach from 1 point and the farthest point respectively and initialize every value of rightMost[] with 0.
  • Iterate over the range [0, N – 1] and update the rightMost[a[i][0]] as the maximum of rightMost[a[i][0]] and arr[i][1].
  • Iterate over the range [M, 0] using the variable i:
    • Update the value of dp[i] as i.
    • Iterate over the range [min(m, rightMost[i]), i 1 ] using the variable j and update dp[i] as the maximum of dp[i] and dp[j].
  • If the value of dp[0] is at least M, then it is possible to reach from 0 to M, therefore print “Yes”. Otherwise, print “No”.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ program for the above approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to check if it is
// possible to reach M from 0
void canReach0toM(int a[][2], int n,
                  int m)
{
    // Stores the farther point that
    // can reach from 1 point
    int rightMost[m + 1];
 
    // Stores the farthest point it
    // can go for each index i
    int dp[m + 1];
 
    // Initialize rightMost[i] with 0
    for (int i = 0; i <= m; i++) {
        rightMost[i] = 0;
    }
 
    // Traverse the array
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
 
        int a1 = a[i][0];
        int b1 = a[i][1];
 
        // Update the rightMost
        // position reached from a1
        rightMost[a1] = max(
            rightMost[a1], b1);
    }
 
    for (int i = m; i >= 0; i--) {
 
        dp[i] = i;
 
        // Find the farthest point
        // it can reach from i
        for (int j = min(m, rightMost[i]);
             j > i; j--) {
            dp[i] = max(dp[i], dp[j]);
        }
    }
 
    // If point < can be reached
    if (dp[0] >= m) {
        cout << "Yes";
    }
    else {
        cout << "No";
    }
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int arr[][2] = { { 0, 2 }, { 2, 2 },
                     { 2, 5 }, { 4, 5 } };
    int M = 5;
    int N = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
    canReach0toM(arr, N, M);
 
    return 0;
}

            rightMost[i] = 0;
        }

            // position reached from a1
            rightMost[a1] = Math.max(rightMost[a1], b1);
        }
 
        for (int i = m; i >= 0; i--) {
 
            dp[i] = i;
 
            // Find the farthest point

                 j--) {
                dp[i] = Math.max(dp[i], dp[j]);
            }
        }
 
        // If point < can be reached
