Given a m x n
grid
filled with non-negative numbers, find a path from top left to bottom right, which minimizes the sum of all numbers along its path.
Note: You can only move either down or right at any point in time.
Example
Input: grid = [[1,3,1],[1,5,1],[4,2,1]]
Output: 7
Explanation: Because the path 1 → 3 → 1 → 1 → 1 minimizes the sum.
Solution
/**
* @param {number[][]} grid
* @return {number}
*/
var minPathSum = function (grid) {
//For the length of the grid starting at 1, add the previous row's value to the current row's value
for (let i = 1; i < grid.length; i++) {
grid[i][0] += grid[i - 1][0];
}
//For the length of the grid starting at 1, add the previous column's value to the current column's value
for (let i = 1; i < grid[0].length; i++) {
grid[0][i] += grid[0][i - 1];
}
for (let i = 1; i < grid.length; i++) {
for (let j = 1; j < grid[0].length; j++) {
//Add the minimum of the previous row or previous column to the current value
grid[i][j] += Math.min(grid[i - 1][j], grid[i][j - 1]);
}
}
return grid[grid.length - 1][grid[0].length - 1];
};
