Problem
Given an n x n
array of integers matrix
, return the minimum sum of any falling path through matrix
.
A falling path starts at any element in the first row and chooses the element in the next row that is either directly below or diagonally left/right. Specifically, the next element from position (row, col)
will be (row + 1, col - 1)
, (row + 1, col)
, or (row + 1, col + 1)
.
Example 1:
Input: matrix = [[2,1,3],[6,5,4],[7,8,9]] Output: 13 Explanation: There are two falling paths with a minimum sum as shown.
Example 2:
Input: matrix = [[-19,57],[-40,-5]] Output: -59 Explanation: The falling path with a minimum sum is shown.
Constraints:
n == matrix.length == matrix[i].length
1 <= n <= 100
-100 <= matrix[i][j] <= 100
