<p>There are <code>n</code> piles of <code>stones</code> arranged in a row. The <code>i<sup>th</sup></code> pile has <code>stones[i]</code> stones.</p> <p>A move consists of merging exactly <code>k</code> consecutive piles into one pile, and the cost of this move is equal to the total number of stones in these <code>k</code> piles.</p> <p>Return <em>the minimum cost to merge all piles of stones into one pile</em>. If it is impossible, return <code>-1</code>.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Example 1:</strong></p> <pre> <strong>Input:</strong> stones = [3,2,4,1], k = 2 <strong>Output:</strong> 20 <strong>Explanation:</strong> We start with [3, 2, 4, 1]. We merge [3, 2] for a cost of 5, and we are left with [5, 4, 1]. We merge [4, 1] for a cost of 5, and we are left with [5, 5]. We merge [5, 5] for a cost of 10, and we are left with [10]. The total cost was 20, and this is the minimum possible. </pre> <p><strong>Example 2:</strong></p> <pre> <strong>Input:</strong> stones = [3,2,4,1], k = 3 <strong>Output:</strong> -1 <strong>Explanation:</strong> After any merge operation, there are 2 piles left, and we can't merge anymore. So the task is impossible. </pre> <p><strong>Example 3:</strong></p> <pre> <strong>Input:</strong> stones = [3,5,1,2,6], k = 3 <strong>Output:</strong> 25 <strong>Explanation:</strong> We start with [3, 5, 1, 2, 6]. We merge [5, 1, 2] for a cost of 8, and we are left with [3, 8, 6]. We merge [3, 8, 6] for a cost of 17, and we are left with [17]. The total cost was 25, and this is the minimum possible. </pre> <p> </p> <p><strong>Constraints:</strong></p> <ul> <li><code>n == stones.length</code></li> <li><code>1 <= n <= 30</code></li> <li><code>1 <= stones[i] <= 100</code></li> <li><code>2 <= k <= 30</code></li> </ul>
