HackerEarth Challenging Track problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 2024
In this HackerEarth Challenging Track problem solution, Alice and Bob saw a challenging track that consists of N hurdles of variable heights Hi. Now, Bob challenges Alice to complete this track with a given amount of jump power P.
The rules for completing the challenge are as follows:
Each time Alice jumps a hurdle, the jump power P of Alice reduces by the height of the hurdle.
Every even minute all the remaining hurdles having even heights will decay and their heights reduce by 1 and every odd minute all the remaining hurdles having odd heights will decay and their heights reduce by 1.
Initially, time T = 0 minute. It takes 1 minute for Alice to reach to the next hurdle and the time taken to jump a hurdle can be considered to be negligible. Alice has to complete the challenge starting from the first hurdle to the last hurdle, left to right, sequentially.
If P < 0 at any moment, Alice cannot move further. Find out if Alice can complete the challenge?
