860. Lemonade Change
1. Description
At a lemonade stand, each lemonade costs 5, 20 bill. You must provide the correct change to each customer so that the net transaction is that the customer pays $5.
Note that you do not have any change in hand at first.
Given an integer array bills where bills[i] is the bill the ith customer pays, return true if you can provide every customer with the correct change, or false otherwise.
2. Example
Example 1:
Input: bills = [5,5,5,10,20]
Output: true
Explanation:
From the first 3 customers, we collect three 10 bill and give back a 10 bill and a $5 bill.
Since all customers got correct change, we output true.
Example 2:
Input: bills = [5,5,10,10,20]
Output: false
Explanation:
From the first two customers in order, we collect two 10 bill and give back a 15 back because we only have two $10 bills.
Since not every customer received the correct change, the answer is false.
3. Constraints
- 1 <= bills.length <=
- bills[i] is either 5, 10, or 20.
