Problem
You are given two 0-indexed strings source
and target
, both of length n
and consisting of lowercase English letters. You are also given two 0-indexed character arrays original
and changed
, and an integer array cost
, where cost[i]
represents the cost of changing the character original[i]
to the character changed[i]
.
You start with the string source
. In one operation, you can pick a character x
from the string and change it to the character y
at a cost of z
if there exists any index j
such that cost[j] == z
, original[j] == x
, and changed[j] == y
.
Return the minimum cost to convert the string source
to the string target
using any number of operations. If it is impossible to convert source
to target
, return -1
.
Note that there may exist indices i
, j
such that original[j] == original[i]
and changed[j] == changed[i]
.
Example 1:
Input: source = "abcd", target = "acbe", original = ["a","b","c","c","e","d"], changed = ["b","c","b","e","b","e"], cost = [2,5,5,1,2,20] Output: 28 Explanation: To convert the string "abcd" to string "acbe": - Change value at index 1 from 'b' to 'c' at a cost of 5. - Change value at index 2 from 'c' to 'e' at a cost of 1. - Change value at index 2 from 'e' to 'b' at a cost of 2. - Change value at index 3 from 'd' to 'e' at a cost of 20. The total cost incurred is 5 + 1 + 2 + 20 = 28. It can be shown that this is the minimum possible cost.
Example 2:
Input: source = "aaaa", target = "bbbb", original = ["a","c"], changed = ["c","b"], cost = [1,2] Output: 12 Explanation: To change the character 'a' to 'b' change the character 'a' to 'c' at a cost of 1, followed by changing the character 'c' to 'b' at a cost of 2, for a total cost of 1 + 2 = 3. To change all occurrences of 'a' to 'b', a total cost of 3 * 4 = 12 is incurred.
Example 3:
Input: source = "abcd", target = "abce", original = ["a"], changed = ["e"], cost = [10000] Output: -1 Explanation: It is impossible to convert source to target because the value at index 3 cannot be changed from 'd' to 'e'.
Constraints:
1 <= source.length == target.length <= 105
source
,target
consist of lowercase English letters.1 <= cost.length == original.length == changed.length <= 2000
original[i]
,changed[i]
are lowercase English letters.1 <= cost[i] <= 106
original[i] != changed[i]
