Problem
You are given a positive integer n
representing n
cities numbered from 1
to n
. You are also given a 2D array roads
where roads[i] = [ai, bi, distancei]
indicates that there is a bidirectional road between cities ai
and bi
with a distance equal to distancei
. The cities graph is not necessarily connected.
The score of a path between two cities is defined as the minimum distance of a road in this path.
Return the minimum possible score of a path between cities 1
and n
.
Note:
- A path is a sequence of roads between two cities.
- It is allowed for a path to contain the same road multiple times, and you can visit cities
1
andn
multiple times along the path. - The test cases are generated such that there is at least one path between
1
andn
.
Example 1:
Input: n = 4, roads = [[1,2,9],[2,3,6],[2,4,5],[1,4,7]] Output: 5 Explanation: The path from city 1 to 4 with the minimum score is: 1 -> 2 -> 4. The score of this path is min(9,5) = 5. It can be shown that no other path has less score.
Example 2:
Input: n = 4, roads = [[1,2,2],[1,3,4],[3,4,7]] Output: 2 Explanation: The path from city 1 to 4 with the minimum score is: 1 -> 2 -> 1 -> 3 -> 4. The score of this path is min(2,2,4,7) = 2.
Constraints:
2 <= n <= 105
1 <= roads.length <= 105
roads[i].length == 3
1 <= ai, bi <= n
ai != bi
1 <= distancei <= 104
- There are no repeated edges.
- There is at least one path between
1
andn
.
