Description#
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 1:
![](https://spcdn.pages.dev/leetcode/problems/0064.Minimum%20Path%20Sum/images/minpath.jpg)
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.
Example 2:
Input: grid = [[1,2,3],[4,5,6]]
Output: 12
Constraints:
m == grid.length
n == grid[i].length
1 <= m, n <= 200
0 <= grid[i][j] <= 200
Solutions#
Solution 1: Dynamic Programming#
We define $f[i][j]$ to represent the minimum path sum from the top left corner to $(i, j)$. Initially, $f[0][0] = grid[0][0]$, and the answer is $f[m - 1][n - 1]$.
Consider $f[i][j]$:
- If $j = 0$, then $f[i][j] = f[i - 1][j] + grid[i][j]$;
- If $i = 0$, then $f[i][j] = f[i][j - 1] + grid[i][j]$;
- If $i > 0$ and $j > 0$, then $f[i][j] = \min(f[i - 1][j], f[i][j - 1]) + grid[i][j]$.
Finally, return $f[m - 1][n - 1]$.
The time complexity is $O(m \times n)$, and the space complexity is $O(m \times n)$. Here, $m$ and $n$ are the number of rows and columns of the grid, respectively.
