Jumping on the Clouds: Revisited

  • + 0 comments

    Jumping on Clouds Function below in python def jumpingOnClouds(c, k): n = len(c) energy = 100 # start with full energy i = 0 # start at the first cloud

    while True:
        # Move i to the next cloud considering the circular array
        i = (i + k) % n
        # Decrease energy by 1 for the jump
        energy -= 1  
        # If it's a thundercloud, lose an additional 2 energy
        if c[i] == 1:
            energy -= 2
        # If we're back at the start, break out of the loop
        if i == 0:
            break
    

    return energy

    This function iterates through the clouds, adjusts the index based on the jump size k, and updates the energy according to the cloud type.

    In a way, this challenge reminds me of editing a complex video sequence using VN Video Editor, where you often loop through clips and apply different effects strategically to enhance the final output.
