Minimum Points To Reach Destination

Hard
Accuracy: 33.00% Points: 8

Given a m*n grid with each cell consisting of positive, negative, or zero point. We can move across a cell only if we have positive points. Whenever we pass through a cell, points in that cell are added to our overall points, the task is to find minimum initial points to reach cell (m-1, n-1) from (0, 0) by following these certain set of rules :

  1. From a cell (i, j) we can move to (i + 1, j) or (i, j + 1).

  2. We cannot move from (i, j) if your overall points at (i, j) are <= 0.

  3. We have to reach at (n-1, m-1) with minimum positive points i.e., > 0.

💡Example 1:

Input: 
m = 3, n = 3 
points = {{-2,-3,3}, 
          {-5,-10,1},
          {10,30,-5}} 
Output: 
7 
Explanation: 7 is the minimum value to reach the destination with positive throughout the path. Below is the path. (0,0) -> (0,1) -> (0,2) -> (1, 2) -> (2, 2) We start from (0, 0) with 7, we reach (0, 1) with 5, (0, 2) with 2, (1, 2) with 5, (2, 2) with and finally we have 1 point (we needed greater than 0 points at the end).

💡Example 2:

m = 3, n = 2
points = {{2,3},  
          {5,10},  
          {10,30}} 
Output: 
1 
Explanation: Take any path, all of them are positive. So, required one point at the start

Your Task:

  • You don't need to read input or print anything. Complete the function minPoints() which takes m,n and 2-d vector points as input parameters and returns the minimum initial points to reach cell (m-1, n-1) from (0, 0).

Expected Time Complexity:

O(n*m)

Expected Auxiliary Space:

O(n*m)

Constraints:

2 <= n <= 10^3

1 ≤ m ≤ 10^3

1 ≤ n ≤ 10^3

-10^3 ≤ points[i][j] ≤ 10^3
