{ "data": { "question": { "questionId": "2808", "questionFrontendId": "2742", "boundTopicId": null, "title": "Painting the Walls", "titleSlug": "painting-the-walls", "content": "

You are given two 0-indexed integer arrays, cost and time, of size n representing the costs and the time taken to paint n different walls respectively. There are two painters available:

\n\n\n\n

Return the minimum amount of money required to paint the n walls.

\n\n

Example 1:

\n\n
\nInput: cost = [1,2,3,2], time = [1,2,3,2]\nOutput: 3\nExplanation: The walls at index 0 and 1 will be painted by the paid painter, and it will take 3 units of time; meanwhile, the free painter will paint the walls at index 2 and 3, free of cost in 2 units of time. Thus, the total cost is 1 + 2 = 3.\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: cost = [2,3,4,2], time = [1,1,1,1]\nOutput: 4\nExplanation: The walls at index 0 and 3 will be painted by the paid painter, and it will take 2 units of time; meanwhile, the free painter will paint the walls at index 1 and 2, free of cost in 2 units of time. Thus, the total cost is 2 + 2 = 4.\n
