2087. Minimum Cost Homecoming of a Robot in a Grid

Leetcode Solutions

Direct Path Cost Calculation

  1. Initialize a variable totalCost to 0 to keep track of the total cost incurred.
  2. Compare the starting row with the home row:
    • If the starting row is less than the home row, iterate from the starting row to the home row (exclusive) and add the cost of each row to totalCost.
    • If the starting row is greater than the home row, iterate from the home row to the starting row (exclusive) in reverse and add the cost of each row to totalCost.
  3. Compare the starting column with the home column:
    • If the starting column is less than the home column, iterate from the starting column to the home column (exclusive) and add the cost of each column to totalCost.
    • If the starting column is greater than the home column, iterate from the home column to the starting column (exclusive) in reverse and add the cost of each column to totalCost.
  4. Return the totalCost as the minimum total cost for the robot to return home.
