Greedy Algorithms pattern

Jump Game II

Given an array where each element is the maximum jump length from that position, return the minimum number of jumps needed to reach the last index. It is guaranteed the last index is reachable. Watch it run step by step, then write your own pseudocode and get it checked by AI.
