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.
Example
Input: 5 5 1 3 1 2 6 10 2 5 4 15 10 9 6 7 1 2 7 1 5 3 8 2 6 1 9 Output: 10

Had Runtime error, because input contains redundant spaces. Do not use Split(' '), C# and Java developers. |

1) At every city, he has to change the bus. 2) And he can switch to only those buses which have number either equal.. is there 2 statements is incompatible? Not clear - is it possible to go with the same bus? According example - he can stay with the same bus. but what about "he has to change the bus. "? Last edit: 2015-06-08 03:50:03 |

Java Guys, please do NOT assume there are single space(s) between numbers in individual rows. String.split(" ") fails in this case, Use Stringtokenizer instead. |
