Just asking for a clarification "No guard can see past a car" the question said so in test case 2, if a guard is on top of car #3 can he see if someone is on top of car #4? |

Quote: 5 2 2 1 3 4 1 if a guard is on top of car of heigh 3, he can see if someone is on top of car of height 4, but not past a car, that is -- guard can't see if anyone is on top of the last car (5th entry, height 1). The question has a note about it Quote: Notes: in the first case, a single guard can be placed on the middle car, and the range of 2 in each direction will cover the entire lot. In the second case, such strategy will not work, as a guard in the middle (height 3) is blocked by the following car (height 4) from monitoring the last car of the lot. |
