Jump Game

S
/**
 * @file
 * @brief [Jumping Game](https://leetcode.com/problems/jump-game/)
 * algorithm implementation
 * @details
 *
 * Given an array of non-negative integers, you are initially positioned at the
 * first index of the array. Each element in the array represents your maximum
 * jump length at that position. Determine if you are able to reach the last
 * index. This solution takes in input as a vector and output as a boolean to
 * check if you can reach the last position. We name the indices good and bad
 * based on whether we can reach the destination if we start at that position.
 * We initialize the last index as lastPos.
 * Here, we start from the end of the array and check if we can ever reach the
 * first index. We check if the sum of the index and the maximum jump count
 * given is greater than or equal to the lastPos. If yes, then that is the last
 * position you can reach starting from the back. After the end of the loop, if
 * we reach the lastPos as 0, then the destination can be reached from the start
 * position.
