题目:
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.
Your goal is to reach the last index in the minimum number of jumps.
For example:
Given array A = [2,3,1,1,4]
The minimum number of jumps to reach the last index is 2. (Jump 1 step from index 0 to 1, then 3 steps to the last index.)
思路:贪心,将题目转移为计算 step步数能达到的最远距离。

// We should know how far can we reach in current
// region.

// If we can reach far more in this round, we update
// the boundary of current region, and also add a step.
if (max > r) {

r = max;

}
}
// We can not finish the job.
