A company is planning to interview 2n
people. Given the array costs
where costs[i] = [aCosti, bCosti]
, the cost of flying the ith
person to city a
is aCosti
, and the cost of flying the ith
person to city b
is bCosti
.
Return the minimum cost to fly every person to a city such that exactly n
people arrive in each city.
Example 1:
Input: costs = [[10,20],[30,200],[400,50],[30,20]] Output: 110 Explanation: The first person goes to city A for a cost of 10. The second person goes to city A for a cost of 30. The third person goes to city B for a cost of 50. The fourth person goes to city B for a cost of 20. The total minimum cost is 10 + 30 + 50 + 20 = 110 to have half the people interviewing in each city.
Example 2:
Input: costs = [[259,770],[448,54],[926,667],[184,139],[840,118],[577,469]] Output: 1859
Example 3:
Input: costs = [[515,563],[451,713],[537,709],[343,819],[855,779],[457,60],[650,359],[631,42]] Output: 3086
Constraints:
2 * n == costs.length
2 <= costs.length <= 100
costs.length
is even.1 <= aCosti, bCosti <= 1000
Greedy.
