3213. Construct String with Minimum Cost
You are given a string target
, an array of strings words
, and an integer array costs
, both arrays of the same length.
Imagine an empty string s
.
You can perform the following operation any number of times (including zero):
- Choose an index
i
in the range[0, words.length - 1]
. - Append
words[i]
tos
. - The cost of operation is
costs[i]
.
Return the minimum cost to make s
equal to target
. If it's not possible, return -1
.
Example 1:
Input: target = "abcdef", words = ["abdef","abc","d","def","ef"], costs = [100,1,1,10,5]
Output: 7
Explanation:
The minimum cost can be achieved by performing the following operations:
- Select index 1 and append
"abc"
tos
at a cost of 1, resulting ins = "abc"
. - Select index 2 and append
"d"
tos
at a cost of 1, resulting ins = "abcd"
. - Select index 4 and append
"ef"
tos
at a cost of 5, resulting ins = "abcdef"
.
Example 2:
Input: target = "aaaa", words = ["z","zz","zzz"], costs = [1,10,100]
Output: -1
Explanation:
It is impossible to make s
equal to target
, so we return -1.
Constraints:
1 <= target.length <= 5 * 104
1 <= words.length == costs.length <= 5 * 104
1 <= words[i].length <= target.length
- The total sum of
words[i].length
is less than or equal to5 * 104
. target
andwords[i]
consist only of lowercase English letters.1 <= costs[i] <= 104
Solution:
