# 0605. Can Place Flowers

<https://leetcode.com/problems/can-place-flowers>

## Description

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.

Given an integer array `flowerbed` containing `0`'s and `1`'s, where `0` means empty and `1` means not empty, and an integer `n`, return *if* `n` new flowers can be planted in the `flowerbed` 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
```

**Constraints:**

* `1 <= flowerbed.length <= 2 * 104`
* `flowerbed[i]` is `0` or `1`.
* There are no two adjacent flowers in `flowerbed`.
* `0 <= n <= flowerbed.length`

## ac

```java
class Solution {
    public boolean canPlaceFlowers(int[] flowerbed, int n) {
        // edge cases
        if (n > (flowerbed.length + 1) / 2) return false;

        // plant
        for (int i = 0; i < flowerbed.length; i++) {
            if (n == 0) return true;
            if (flowerbed[i] == 1) continue;

            int prev = i == 0 ? 0 : flowerbed[i-1];
            int next = i == flowerbed.length - 1 ? 0 : flowerbed[i+1];

            if (prev == 0 && next == 0) {
                flowerbed[i] = 1;
                n--;
            }
        }

        return n == 0;
    }
}

/*
lots of disgusting edge cases
*/
```
