Given an integer N and an array arr[ ] of size N, the task is to find the maximum jumps to reach the end of the array given the constraint that from index i can make arr[i] jumps and reach the position i+arr[i].

Examples:

Input: N = 5, arr[] = {2, 3, 5, 7, 9}
Output: 12 
Explanation:
At index 0 make 2 jumps and move to index 2 and make 5 jumps after that to reach index 7 which is out of the array so total number of jumps is (2+5)=7. 
At index 1 make 3+9= 12 jumps 
At index 2 make 5 jumps
At index 3 make 7 jumps
At index 4 make 9 jumps 

Input: arr[]={2, 2, 1, 2, 3, 3}
Output: 8

Approach: The idea is to use Dynamic programming to solve this problem. Follow the steps below to solve the problem.

  • Initialize an array dp of size N with 0. dp[i] stores the number of jumps needed to reach the end of the array from index i. Also, initialize an integer ans to 0.
  • Traverse through the array from the end of the array using for loop
    • Assign arr[i] to dp[i] since arr[i] is the smallest number of jumps from this index.
    • Now initialize a variable say j and assign j = i+arr[i].
    • If the value of j is less than N, then add dp[j] to dp[i].
    • Update the value of ans as max(ans, dp[i])
  • After completing the above steps print the value of ans.
