Problem
A certain bug's home is on the x-axis at position x
. Help them get there from position 0
.
The bug jumps according to the following rules:
- It can jump exactly
a
positions forward (to the right). - It can jump exactly
b
positions backward (to the left). - It cannot jump backward twice in a row.
- It cannot jump to any
forbidden
positions.
The bug may jump forward beyond its home, but it cannot jump to positions numbered with negative integers.
Given an array of integers forbidden
, where forbidden[i]
means that the bug cannot jump to the position forbidden[i]
, and integers a
, b
, and x
, return the minimum number of jumps needed for the bug to reach its home. If there is no possible sequence of jumps that lands the bug on position x
, return -1.
Example 1:
Input: forbidden = [14,4,18,1,15], a = 3, b = 15, x = 9 Output: 3 Explanation: 3 jumps forward (0 -> 3 -> 6 -> 9) will get the bug home.
Example 2:
Input: forbidden = [8,3,16,6,12,20], a = 15, b = 13, x = 11 Output: -1
Example 3:
Input: forbidden = [1,6,2,14,5,17,4], a = 16, b = 9, x = 7 Output: 2 Explanation: One jump forward (0 -> 16) then one jump backward (16 -> 7) will get the bug home.
Constraints:
1 <= forbidden.length <= 1000
1 <= a, b, forbidden[i] <= 2000
0 <= x <= 2000
- All the elements in
forbidden
are distinct. - Position
x
is not forbidden.
