/***************************************************************************************
*
* A frog is crossing a river. The river is divided into x units and at each unit there
* may or may not exist a stone. The frog can jump on a stone, but it must not jump
* into the water.
*
* Given a list of stones' positions (in units) in sorted ascending order, determine if
* the frog is able to cross the river by landing on the last stone. Initially, the
* frog is on the first stone and assume the first jump must be 1 unit.
*
* If the frog's last jump was k units, then its next jump must be either k - 1, k, or
* k + 1 units. Note that the frog can only jump in the forward direction.
*
* Note:
*
* The number of stones is ≥ 2 and is
* Each stone's position will be a non-negative integer 31.
* The first stone's position is always 0.
*
* Example 1:
*
* [0,1,3,5,6,8,12,17]
*
* There are a total of 8 stones.
* The first stone at the 0th unit, second stone at the 1st unit,
* third stone at the 3rd unit, and so on...
* The last stone at the 17th unit.
*
* Return true. The frog can jump to the last stone by jumping
* 1 unit to the 2nd stone, then 2 units to the 3rd stone, then
* 2 units to the 4th stone, then 3 units to the 6th stone,
* 4 units to the 7th stone, and 5 units to the 8th stone.
*
* Example 2:
*
* [0,1,2,3,4,8,9,11]
*
* Return false. There is no way to jump to the last stone as
* the gap between the 5th and 6th stone is too large.
