Problem
You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums of length n. You are initially standing at index 0. You can jump from index i to index j where i < j if:
nums[i] <= nums[j]andnums[k] < nums[i]for all indexeskin the rangei < k < j, ornums[i] > nums[j]andnums[k] >= nums[i]for all indexeskin the rangei < k < j.
You are also given an integer array costs of length n where costs[i] denotes the cost of jumping to index i.
Return the minimum cost to jump to the index n - 1.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [3,2,4,4,1], costs = [3,7,6,4,2] Output: 8 Explanation: You start at index 0. - Jump to index 2 with a cost of costs[2] = 6. - Jump to index 4 with a cost of costs[4] = 2. The total cost is 8. It can be proven that 8 is the minimum cost needed. Two other possible paths are from index 0 -> 1 -> 4 and index 0 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4. These have a total cost of 9 and 12, respectively.
Example 2:
Input: nums = [0,1,2], costs = [1,1,1] Output: 2 Explanation: Start at index 0. - Jump to index 1 with a cost of costs[1] = 1. - Jump to index 2 with a cost of costs[2] = 1. The total cost is 2. Note that you cannot jump directly from index 0 to index 2 because nums[0] <= nums[1].
Constraints:
n == nums.length == costs.length1 <= n <= 1050 <= nums[i], costs[i] <= 105
