        left = 0
        for weight in weights:
            if weight > left:

                if c > D:
                    return False

                if weight > left:
                    return False

            left -= weight

        return c <= D

    def shipWithinDays(self, weights: List[int], D: int) -> int:
        l = 1
        r = sum(weights)

        while l < r:
            m = (l + r) // 2

                r = m
            else:
                l = m + 1
