064-minimum-path-sum/minimum-path-sum.js

// Given a m x n grid filled with non-negative numbers, find a path from top left to bottom right which minimizes the sum of all numbers along its path.
//
// Note: You can only move either down or right at any point in time.
//
// Example:
//
//
// Input:
// [
//   [1,3,1],
//   [1,5,1],
//   [4,2,1]
// ]
// Output: 7
// Explanation: Because the path 1→3→1→1→1 minimizes the sum.
//
//
