Cheapest Cost to All Cities - Google Top Interview Questions
Problem Statement :
You are given two lists of integers costs_from and costs_to of the same length where each index i represents a city.
Building a one-way road from city i to j costs costs_from[i] + costs_to[j].
You are also given a two-dimensional list of integers edges where each list contains [x, y] meaning there's already a one-way road from city x to y.
Given that we want to be able to go to any city from city 0 (not necessarily in one path), return the minimum cost to build the necessary roads.
Constraints
n ≤ 1,000 where n is the length of costs_from and costs_to
m ≤ 100,000 where m is the length of edges
Example 1
Input
costs_from = [5, 1, 1, 10]
costs_to = [1, 1, 2, 1]
edges = [
[0, 3]
]
Output
9
Explanation
We can go 0 to 2 for a cost of 7. Then, we can go 2 to 1 for a cost of 2. We already have the ability to go
to 3 from 0 for free.
