<p>Given a wooden stick of length <code>n</code> units. The stick is labelled from <code>0</code> to <code>n</code>. For example, a stick of length <strong>6</strong> is labelled as follows:</p>

<p>Given an integer array <code>cuts</code> where <code>cuts[i]</code> denotes a position you should perform a cut at.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You should perform the cuts in order, you can change the order of the cuts as you wish.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The cost of one cut is the length of the stick to be cut, the total cost is the sum of costs of all cuts. When you cut a stick, it will be split into two smaller sticks (i.e. the sum of their lengths is the length of the stick before the cut). Please refer to the first example for a better explanation.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Return <em>the minimum total cost</em> of the cuts.</p>

<pre>
|
|
<strong>Input:</strong> n = 7, cuts = [1,3,4,5]
|
|
<strong>Output:</strong> 16
|
|
<strong>Explanation:</strong> Using cuts order = [1, 3, 4, 5] as in the input leads to the following scenario:

|
The first cut is done to a rod of length 7 so the cost is 7. The second cut is done to a rod of length 6 (i.e. the second part of the first cut), the third is done to a rod of length 4 and the last cut is to a rod of length 3. The total cost is 7 + 6 + 4 + 3 = 20.
|
|
Rearranging the cuts to be [3, 5, 1, 4] for example will lead to a scenario with total cost = 16 (as shown in the example photo 7 + 4 + 3 + 2 = 16).</pre>

<p><strong class="example">Example 2:</strong></p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<strong>Input:</strong> n = 9, cuts = [5,6,1,4,2]
|
|
<strong>Output:</strong> 22
|
|
<strong>Explanation:</strong> If you try the given cuts ordering the cost will be 25.
|
|
There are much ordering with total cost <= 25, for example, the order [4, 6, 5, 2, 1] has total cost = 22 which is the minimum possible.
