#K15746. Minimum Cost Path
Minimum Cost Path
Minimum Cost Path
You are given a matrix of positive integers where each element represents the cost of passing through that cell. Your task is to find the minimum cost path from the top-left corner to the bottom-right corner of the matrix. You are only allowed to move right or down at any step.
The cost of a path is defined as the sum of the costs of all the cells that form the path.
The recurrence relation for calculating the minimum cost is given by:
$dp[i][j] = \min(dp[i-1][j],\ dp[i][j-1]) + A[i][j]$
Make sure to handle edge cases where the matrix has a single row, a single column, or even a single element.
inputFormat
The input is read from stdin and is formatted as follows:
- The first line contains two integers m and n, which represent the number of rows and columns in the matrix, respectively.
- The next m lines each contain n space-separated integers, which represent the cost values of the matrix.
outputFormat
Output a single integer to stdout representing the minimum cost to traverse from the top-left corner to the bottom-right corner of the matrix.
