| 1 | +# 975. Odd Even Jump |
| 2 | +You are given an integer array `arr`. From some starting index, you can make a series of jumps. The (1<sup>st</sup>, 3<sup>rd</sup>, 5<sup>th</sup>, ...) jumps in the series are called **odd-numbered jumps**, and the (2<sup>nd</sup>, 4<sup>th</sup>, 6<sup>th</sup>, ...) jumps in the series are called **even-numbered jumps**. Note that the **jumps** are numbered, not the indices. |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +You may jump forward from index `i` to index `j` (with `i < j`) in the following way: |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +* During **odd-numbered jumps** (i.e., jumps 1, 3, 5, ...), you jump to the index `j` such that `arr[i] <= arr[j]` and `arr[j]` is the smallest possible value. If there are multiple such indices `j`, you can only jump to the **smallest** such index `j`. |
| 7 | +* During **even-numbered jumps** (i.e., jumps 2, 4, 6, ...), you jump to the index j such that `arr[i] >= arr[j]` and `arr[j]` is the largest possible value. If there are multiple such indices `j`, you can only jump to the **smallest** such index `j`. |
| 8 | +* It may be the case that for some index `i`, there are no legal jumps. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +A starting index is **good** if, starting from that index, you can reach the end of the array (index `arr.length - 1`) by jumping some number of times (possibly 0 or more than once). |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +Return *the number of **good** starting indices*. |

| 14 | +#### Example 1: |
| 15 | +<pre> |
| 16 | +<strong>Input:</strong> arr = [10,13,12,14,15] |
| 17 | +<strong>Output:</strong> 2 |
| 18 | +<strong>Explanation:</strong> |
| 19 | +From starting index i = 0, we can make our 1st jump to i = 2 (since arr[2] is the smallest among arr[1], arr[2], arr[3], arr[4] that is greater or equal to arr[0]), then we cannot jump any more. |
| 20 | +From starting index i = 1 and i = 2, we can make our 1st jump to i = 3, then we cannot jump any more. |
| 21 | +From starting index i = 3, we can make our 1st jump to i = 4, so we have reached the end. |
| 22 | +From starting index i = 4, we have reached the end already. |
| 23 | +In total, there are 2 different starting indices i = 3 and i = 4, where we can reach the end with some number of |
| 24 | +jumps. |
| 25 | +</pre> |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +#### Example 2: |
| 28 | +<pre> |
| 29 | +<strong>Input:</strong> arr = [2,3,1,1,4] |
| 30 | +<strong>Output:</strong> 3 |
| 31 | +<strong>Explanation:</strong> |
| 32 | +From starting index i = 0, we make jumps to i = 1, i = 2, i = 3: |
| 33 | +During our 1st jump (odd-numbered), we first jump to i = 1 because arr[1] is the smallest value in [arr[1], arr[2], arr[3], arr[4]] that is greater than or equal to arr[0]. |
| 34 | +During our 2nd jump (even-numbered), we jump from i = 1 to i = 2 because arr[2] is the largest value in [arr[2], arr[3], arr[4]] that is less than or equal to arr[1]. arr[3] is also the largest value, but 2 is a smaller index, so we can only jump to i = 2 and not i = 3 |
| 35 | +During our 3rd jump (odd-numbered), we jump from i = 2 to i = 3 because arr[3] is the smallest value in [arr[3], arr[4]] that is greater than or equal to arr[2]. |
| 36 | +We can't jump from i = 3 to i = 4, so the starting index i = 0 is not good. |
| 37 | +In a similar manner, we can deduce that: |
| 38 | +From starting index i = 1, we jump to i = 4, so we reach the end. |
| 39 | +From starting index i = 2, we jump to i = 3, and then we can't jump anymore. |
| 40 | +From starting index i = 3, we jump to i = 4, so we reach the end. |
| 41 | +From starting index i = 4, we are already at the end. |
| 42 | +In total, there are 3 different starting indices i = 1, i = 3, and i = 4, where we can reach the end with some |
| 43 | +number of jumps. |
| 44 | +</pre> |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +#### Example 3: |
| 47 | +<pre> |
| 48 | +<strong>Input:</strong> arr = [5,1,3,4,2] |
| 49 | +<strong>Output:</strong> 3 |
| 50 | +<strong>Explanation:</strong> We can reach the end from starting indices 1, 2, and 4. |
| 51 | +</pre> |

| 53 | +#### Constraints: |
| 54 | +* <code>1 <= arr.length <= 2 * 10<sup>4</sup></code> |
| 55 | +* <code>0 <= arr[i] < 10<sup>5</sup></code> |
