Topics

We have two special characters:

  • The first character can be represented by one bit 0.
  • The second character can be represented by two bits (10 or 11).

Given a binary array bits that ends with 0, return true if the last character must be a one-bit character.

 

Example 1:

Input: bits = [1,0,0]
Output: true
Explanation: The only way to decode it is two-bit character and one-bit character.
So the last character is one-bit character.

Example 2:

Input: bits = [1,1,1,0]
Output: false
Explanation: The only way to decode it is two-bit character and two-bit character.
So the last character is not one-bit character.
``` 

**Constraints:**

 + `1 <= bits.length <= 1000`
 + `bits[i]` is either `0` or `1`.
