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.
Key to solve: DP
This a classical DP problem, same as Unique Paths
beside there is value in each grid and we need to find path
with min sum. We can minimum the sum base on value of previous
column and above row
Thus, formula: gird[i][j]=min(gird[i][j-1],gird[i-1][j-1])
public class Solution {
public int minPathSum(int[][] grid) {
int m=grid.length;
int n=grid[0].length;
//minimum the row value
for(int i=1;i<m;i++){
grid[i][0]+=grid[i-1][0];
}
//minimum the column value
for(int j=1;j<n;j++){
grid[0][j]+=grid[0][j-1];
}
for(int i=1;i<m;i++){
for(int j=1;j<n;j++){
grid[i][j]+=Math.min(grid[i-1][j],grid[i][j-1]);
}
}
return grid[m-1][n-1];
}
}
