There are a row of
n houses, each house can be painted with one of the
k colors. The cost of painting each house with a certain color is different. You have to paint all the houses such that no two adjacent houses have the same color.
The cost of painting each house with a certain color is represented by a
n x k
cost matrix. For example,
costs[0][0]
is the cost of painting house 0 with color 0;
costs[1][2]
is the cost of painting house 1 with color 2, and so on... Find the minimum cost to paint all houses.
Note:
All costs are positive integers.
All costs are positive integers.
