Lemonade Change

easy

At a lemonade stand, each lemonade costs $5. Customers are standing in a queue to buy from you and order one at a time (in the order specified by bills). Each customer will only buy one lemonade and pay with either a $5, $10, or $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.

Examples

Example 1

Input:  bills = [5,5,5,10,20]
Output: true

From the first 3 customers, we collect three $5 bills in order. From the fourth customer, we collect a $10 bill and give back a $5. From the fifth customer, we give 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

From the first two customers in order, we collect two $5 bills. For the next two customers in order, we collect a $10 bill and give back a $5 bill. For the last customer, we can not give the change of $15 back because we only have two $10 bills. Since not every customer received the correct change, the answer is false.

Constraints

  • 1 <= bills.length <= 10^5
  • bills[i] is either 5, 10, or 20
