Problem: Min Cost Climbing Stairs

easy
15 min
Explore how to use dynamic programming to solve the Min Cost Climbing Stairs problem. Understand cost analysis, step selection, and efficient coding techniques to minimize the total climbing cost. Develop skills to apply these concepts in coding interviews and improve problem-solving efficiency.

Statement

You are given an integer array, cost, where cost[i] represents the cost of stepping onto the ithi^{th} stair. After paying the cost of the stair you land on, you may climb either one or two steps forward. You may begin your climb from step 00 or step 11 without incurring any initial cost.

Return the minimum total cost required to reach the position just beyond the last stair (the “top”).

Constraints:

  • 22 \leq cost.length 1000\leq 1000

  • 00 \leq cost[i] 999\leq 999
