Problem: Minimum Recharging Stops

You have decided that your first purchase after graduation will be a Tesla Model X. You have further decided to drive from Harrisburg to San Francisco, as quickly (and safely) as possible. In order to minimize your travel time, you wish to minimize the number of recharging stops. You have recorded the distances between charging stations on your route, and you know the maximum range that you can travel on a single charge.

Input: An array g containing the distances of charging stations on the route from the starting point; r the range you can travel on a single charge, and d the length of the route from Harrisburg to San Francisco. You are guaranteed that the distances between the charging stations will be less than or equal to r.

Return: The minimum number of stops needed for charging in order to complete the trip.
