256. Paint House - Easy
阿新 • • 發佈:2018-12-17
There are a row of n houses, each house can be painted with one of the three colors: red, blue or green. 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
cost matrix. For example, x 3costs[0][0]
is the cost of painting house 0 with color red; costs[1][2]
is the cost of painting house 1 with color green, and so on... Find the minimum cost to paint all houses.
Note:
All costs are positive integers.
Example:
Input: [[17,2,17],[16,16,5],[14,3,19]] Output: 10 Explanation: Paint house 0 into blue, paint house 1 into green, paint house 2 into blue. Minimum cost: 2 + 5 + 3 = 10.
dynamic programming
在costs的基礎上,每一行每個元素累加與上一次不同顏色的cost,在最後一行取最小值
time: O(m), space: O(1) -- m: # rows of costs
class Solution { public int minCost(int[][] costs) { if(costs == null || costs.length == 0 || costs[0].length == 0) return 0; for(int i = 1; i < costs.length; i++) { costs[i][0] = costs[i][0] + Math.min(costs[i-1][1], costs[i-1][2]); costs[i][1] = costs[i][1] + Math.min(costs[i-1][0], costs[i-1][2]); costs[i][2] = costs[i][2] + Math.min(costs[i-1][0], costs[i-1][1]); } int n = costs.length - 1; return Math.min(costs[n][0], Math.min(costs[n][1], costs[n][2])); } }
