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
SOLUTION:
from functools import cmp_to_key
class Solution:
def compare(self, cost1, cost2):
a, b = cost1
c, d = cost2
if a + d <= b + c:
return -1
return 1
def twoCitySchedCost(self, costs: List[List[int]]) -> int:
n = len(costs)
costs.sort(key = cmp_to_key(self.compare))
cost = 0
for i in range(n // 2):
cost += costs[i][0]
for i in range(n // 2, n):
cost += costs[i][1]
return cost
