You are climbing a staircase with n + 1
steps, numbered from 0 to n
.
You are also given a 1-indexed integer array costs
of length n
, where costs[i]
is the cost of step i
.
From step i
, you can jump only to step i + 1
, i + 2
, or i + 3
. The cost of jumping from step i
to step j
is defined as: costs[j] + (j - i)2
You start from step 0 with cost = 0
.
Return the minimum total cost to reach step n
.
Example 1:
Input: n = 4, costs = [1,2,3,4]
Output: 13
Explanation:
One optimal path is 0 → 1 → 2 → 4
Jump
Cost Calculation
Cost
0 → 1
costs[1] + (1 - 0)2 = 1 + 1
2
1 → 2
costs[2] + (2 - 1)2 = 2 + 1
3
2 → 4
costs[4] + (4 - 2)2 = 4 + 4
8
Thus, the minimum total cost is 2 + 3 + 8 = 13
Example 2:
Input: n = 4, costs = [5,1,6,2]
Output: 11
Explanation:
One optimal path is 0 → 2 → 4
Jump
Cost Calculation
Cost
0 → 2
costs[2] + (2 - 0)2 = 1 + 4
5
2 → 4
costs[4] + (4 - 2)2 = 2 + 4
6
Thus, the minimum total cost is 5 + 6 = 11
Example 3:
Input: n = 3, costs = [9,8,3]
Output: 12
Explanation:
The optimal path is 0 → 3
with total cost = costs[3] + (3 - 0)2 = 3 + 9 = 12
Constraints:
1 <= n == costs.length <= 105
1 <= costs[i] <= 104
