Jump Game II

You are given an array of non-negative integers where each element represents the maximum jump length at that position. Your task is to find the minimum number of jumps needed to reach the last index of the array, starting from the first index. You can jump to the any index within your jump range. Input: - The first line contains an integer n (1 ≤ n ≤ 1000), the length of the array. - The second line contains n space-separated non-negative integers, representing the jump lengths. Output: - A single integer representing the minimum number of jumps needed to reach the end of the array. Example: Input: 6 2 3 1 1 4 0 Output: 2 Explanation: Jump from index 0 to index 1 (or 2), then jump to the last index (4).
