The question states the MINIMUM distance to be travelled to get to an island is a[i] not EXACT. But the solution/tutotial use EXACT distance.
I think this question deserves a review

Minimum distance to be travelled to get to an island j from your current location i = min(|i — j| + 1) for all possible j values. After modelling it this way, I understood, especially the second testcase.
