You are at a fruit market with different types of exotic fruits on display.
\n\nYou are given a 1-indexed array prices
, where prices[i]
denotes the number of coins needed to purchase the ith
fruit.
The fruit market has the following offer:
\n\nith
fruit at prices[i]
coins, you can get the next i
fruits for free.Note that even if you can take fruit j
for free, you can still purchase it for prices[j]
coins to receive a new offer.
Return the minimum number of coins needed to acquire all the fruits.
\n\n\n
Example 1:
\n\n\nInput: prices = [3,1,2]\nOutput: 4\nExplanation: You can acquire the fruits as follows:\n- Purchase the 1st fruit with 3 coins, you are allowed to take the 2nd fruit for free.\n- Purchase the 2nd fruit with 1 coin, you are allowed to take the 3rd fruit for free.\n- Take the 3rd fruit for free.\nNote that even though you were allowed to take the 2nd fruit for free, you purchased it because it is more optimal.\nIt can be proven that 4 is the minimum number of coins needed to acquire all the fruits.\n\n\n
Example 2:
\n\n\nInput: prices = [1,10,1,1]\nOutput: 2\nExplanation: You can acquire the fruits as follows:\n- Purchase the 1st fruit with 1 coin, you are allowed to take the 2nd fruit for free.\n- Take the 2nd fruit for free.\n- Purchase the 3rd fruit for 1 coin, you are allowed to take the 4th fruit for free.\n- Take the 4th fruit for free.\nIt can be proven that 2 is the minimum number of coins needed to acquire all the fruits.\n\n\n
