Problem

Given an array of integers arr, you are initially positioned at the first index of the array.

In one step you can jump from index i to index:

Return the minimum number of steps to reach the last index of the array.

Notice that you can not jump outside of the array at any time.

  Example 1:

Input: arr = [100,-23,-23,404,100,23,23,23,3,404]
Output: 3
Explanation: You need three jumps from index 0 --> 4 --> 3 --> 9. Note that index 9 is the last index of the array.

Example 2:

Input: arr = [7]
Output: 0
Explanation: Start index is the last index. You do not need to jump.

Example 3:

Input: arr = [7,6,9,6,9,6,9,7]
Output: 1
Explanation: You can jump directly from index 0 to index 7 which is last index of the array.

                    visited[curIndex - 1] = true;
                }
                List<Integer> tempList = myHash.getOrDefault(arr[curIndex], new ArrayList<>());
                for (Integer integer : tempList) {

                myHash.remove(arr[curIndex]);
                j++;
            }
            step++;
        }

        return step;

}
