MISERMAN - Wise And Miser |
Jack is a wise and miser man. Always tries to save his money.
One day, he wants to go from city A to city B. Between A and B, there are N number of cities (including B and excluding A) and in each city there are M buses numbered from 1 to M. And the fare of each bus is different. Means for all N×M buses, fare (K) may be different or same. Now Jack has to go from city A to city B following these conditions:
- At every city, he has to change the bus.
- And he can switch to only those buses which have number either equal or 1 less or 1 greater to the previous.
You are to help Jack to go from A to B by spending the minimum amount of money.
N, M, K <= 100.
Input
Line 1: N M
Line 2: N×M Grid
Each row lists the fares the M busses to go form the current city to the next city.
Output
Single Line containing the minimum amount of fare that Jack has to give.

Try to maintain a minimum cost for each block in the form of a table, and this can be done simply as we know that if we arrive at this block then what were our previous choices. And the answer is the smallest element in the last row of this table. Last edit: 2020-08-07 19:47:28 |
