Minimum total sum from the given two arrays

Given two arrays A[] and B[] of N positive integers and a cost C. We can choose any one element from each index of the given arrays i.e., for any index i we can choose only element A[i] or B[i]. The task is to find the minimum total sum of selecting N elements from the given two arrays and if we are selecting any element from A[] to B[] or vice-versa in the next iteration then the cost C is also added to the sum.

Note: Choose element in increasing order of index i.e., 0 ? i < N.

Examples:

Input: N = 9, A[] = {7, 6, 18, 6, 16, 18, 1, 17, 17}, B[] = {6, 9, 3, 10, 9, 1, 10, 1, 5}, C = 2
Output: 49
Explanation:
On taking the 1st element from array A, sum = 7
On taking the 2nd element from array A, sum = 7 + 6 = 13
On taking the 3rd element from array B, as we are entering from array A to array B, sum = 13 + 3 + 2 = 18
On taking the 4th element from array A, as we are entering from array B to array A, sum = 18 + 6 + 2 = 26
On taking the 5th element from array B, as we are entering from array A to array B, sum = 26 + 9 + 2 = 37
On taking the 6th element form array B, sum = 37 + 1 = 38
On taking the 7th element from array A, as we are entering from array B to array A, sum = 38 + 1 + 2 = 41
On taking the 8th element form array B, as we are entering from array A to array B, sum = 41 + 1 + 2 = 44
On taking the 9th element from array B, sum = 44 + 5 = 49.
Input: N = 9, A = {3, 2, 3, 1, 3, 3, 1, 4, 1}, B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 1, 2, 1, 3}, C = 1
Output: 18
Explanation:
On taking the 1st element from array B, sum = 1
On taking the 2nd element from array A, sum = 1 + 2 = 3
On taking the 3rd element from array A, sum = 3 + 3 = 6
On taking the 4th element from array A, sum = 6 + 1 = 7
On taking the 5th element from array A, sum = 7 + 3 = 10
On taking the 6th element form array B, as we are entering from array A to array B, sum = 10 + 1 + 1 = 12
On taking the 7th element from array A, as we are entering from array B to array A, sum = 12 + 1 + 1 = 14
On taking the 8th element form array B, as we are entering from array A to array B, sum = 14 + 1 + 1 = 16
On taking the 9th element from array A, as we are entering from array B to array A, sum = 16 + 1 + 1 = 18.

Approach: We will use Dynamic Programming to solve this problem. Below are the steps:

Create a 2D array dp[][] of N rows and two columns and initialize all elements of dp to infinity.
There can be 4 possible cases of adding the elements from both the arrays:
- Adding an element from array a[] when the previously added element is from array a[].
- Adding an element from array a[] when the previously added element is from array b[]. In this case there is a penalty of adding the integer C with the result.
- Adding an element from array b[] when the previously added element is from array b[].
- Adding an element from array b[] when the previously added element is from array a[]. In this case there is a penalty of adding the integer C with the result.
Update the dp array each time with the minimum value of the above four conditions.
The minimum of dp[n-1][0] and dp[n-1][1] is the total minimum sum of selecting N elements.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program for the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function that prints minimum sum
// after selecting N elements
void minimumSum(int a[], int b[],
                int c, int n)
{
 
    // Initialise the dp array
    vector<vector<int> > dp(n,
                            vector<int>(2,
                                        1e6));
 
    // Base Case
    dp[0][0] = a[0];
    dp[0][1] = b[0];
 
    for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
 
        // Adding the element of array a if
        // previous element is also from array a
        dp[i][0] = min(dp[i][0],
                    dp[i - 1][0] + a[i]);
 
        // Adding the element of array a if
        // previous element is from array b
        dp[i][0] = min(dp[i][0],
                    dp[i - 1][1] + a[i] + c);
 
        // Adding the element of array b if
        // previous element is from array a
        // with an extra penalty of integer C
        dp[i][1] = min(dp[i][1],
                    dp[i - 1][0] + b[i] + c);
 
        // Adding the element of array b if
        // previous element is also from array b
        dp[i][1] = min(dp[i][1],
                    dp[i - 1][1] + b[i]);
    }
 
    // Print the minimum sum
    cout << min(dp[n - 1][0],
                dp[n - 1][1])
        << "\n";
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    // Given array arr1[] and arr2[]
    int arr1[] = { 7, 6, 18, 6, 16,
                18, 1, 17, 17 };
 
    int arr2[] = { 6, 9, 3, 10, 9,
                1, 10, 1, 5 };
 
    // Given cost
    int C = 2;
 
    int N = sizeof(arr1) / sizeof(arr1[0]);
 
    // Function Call
    minimumSum(arr1, arr2, C, N);
 
    return 0;
}
