Can Place Flowers

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 true if n new flowers can be planted in the flowerbed without violating the no-adjacent-flowers rule and false otherwise.

Example 1
Inputflowerbed = [1,0,0,0,1], n = 1
Outputtrue
One new flower can be planted in the middle empty plot without being adjacent to another flower.
Example 2
Inputflowerbed = [1,0,0,0,1], n = 2
Outputfalse
There is only one valid place to plant a new flower, so two flowers cannot be planted.

Constraints

  • 1 <= flowerbed.length <= 2 * 10^4
  • flowerbed[i] is 0 or 1.
  • There are no two adjacent flowers in flowerbed.
  • 0 <= n <= flowerbed.length
