Suppose you have a long flowerbed in which some of the plots are planted and some are not. However, flowers cannot be planted in adjacent plots - they would compete for water and both would die.
Given a flowerbed (represented as an array containing 0 and 1, where 0 means empty and 1 means not empty), and a number n, return if n new flowers can be planted in it without violating the no-adjacent-flowers rule.
Example 1:
Input: flowerbed = [1,0,0,0,1], n = 1
Output: True
Example 2:
Input: flowerbed = [1,0,0,0,1], n = 2
Output: False
Note:
The input array won’t violate no-adjacent-flowers rule.
The input array size is in the range of [1, 20000].
n is a non-negative integer which won’t exceed the input array size.

* @param {number} n
* @return {boolean}

var canPlaceFlowers = function(flowerbed, n) {
if (n < 1) {
return true;
}
const len = flowerbed.length;
if (n > (parseInt(len / 2) + 1)) {
return false;
}
let current = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < len; i++) {
if (flowerbed[i] === 0) {
if (flowerbed[i - 1] !== 1 && flowerbed[i + 1] !== 1) {
flowerbed[i] = 1;
current++;
}
}
if (current >= n) {
return true;
}
}
return current >= n;
};
