Initialize the first row and column, then add each cell // cost to the cheaper predecessor. // // COMPLEXITY // O(rows * cols) time, O(cols) auxiliary space. // // CONTRACT // rows,cols>=1. grid is a flattened matrix of nonnegative costs. All sums must fit signed // 32-bit. // Public APIs infer array lengths except in C, which accepts pointer/length pairs. Vertex // counts and matrix dimensions remain explicit. Arrays must contain signed 32-bit integers. // Sorted order, correct tree topology, and caller-owned data-structure invariants are // preconditions; checking them on every query would change query complexity. // Scalar and shape checks are included. Value-range checks are included where needed to // prevent invalid indexing or nontermination. Allocation sizes are capped at 4,000,000 // workspace entries. Arithmetic outside Python raises an error on 32-bit overflow; Python // uses arbitrary precision. Native allocation failures propagate. In-place outputs may be // partly updated after arithmetic failure. These are single-threaded, in-memory // implementations. // // LANGUAGE DETAILS // C99: checked calloc/free workspace, const input pointers, explicit size_t lengths. Errors // return INT_MIN with errno=EINVAL, ERANGE, or ENOMEM. Check errno before using a result. // Input/output arrays must not alias. No variable-length stack arrays. // // EXAMPLE // Expected return: 7. // Run: gcc -std=c99 -O2 example.c -o example && ./example // Tests for this exact source artifact run before publication. The accompanying source // archive includes unit cases, runtime results, and source hashes. static int alg_min(int a, int b) { return a < b ? a : b; } static int alg_max(int a, int b) { return a > b ? a : b; } static int alg_checked(int64_t v, int *error) { if (v < INT_MIN || v > INT_MAX) { *error = 1; return 0; } return (int)v; } static int alg_add(int a, int b, int *e) { return alg_checked((int64_t)a+b,e); } static int alg_sub(int a, int b, int *e) { return alg_checked((int64_t)a-b,e); } static int alg_mul(int a, int b, int *e) { return alg_checked((int64_t)a*b,e); } int minimum_path_sum(const int *grid, size_t grid_length, int rows, int cols) { int alg_error = 0; int alg_result = INT_MIN; errno = 0; int *dp = NULL; if (grid_length > 1000000 || (grid_length && !grid)) { errno = EINVAL; alg_result = INT_MIN; goto alg_cleanup; } if (!(((int)grid_length == alg_mul(rows, cols, &alg_error)))) { errno = EINVAL; alg_result = INT_MIN; goto alg_cleanup; } if (alg_error) { errno = ERANGE; alg_result = INT_MIN; goto alg_cleanup; } if (!(((rows >= 1) && (cols >= 1) && (rows <= 1000000) && (cols <= 1000000)))) { errno = EINVAL; alg_result = INT_MIN; goto alg_cleanup; } if (alg_error) { errno = ERANGE; alg_result = INT_MIN; goto alg_cleanup; } { int alg_length = cols; if (alg_error) { errno = ERANGE; alg_result = INT_MIN; goto alg_cleanup; } if (alg_length < 0 || alg_length > 4000000) { errno = EINVAL; alg_result = INT_MIN; goto alg_cleanup; } dp = calloc((size_t)(alg_length ? alg_length : 1), sizeof(*dp)); if (!dp) { errno = ENOMEM; alg_result = INT_MIN; goto alg_cleanup; } } int r = 0; if (alg_error) { errno = ERANGE; alg_result = INT_MIN; goto alg_cleanup; } int c = 0; if (alg_error) { errno = ERANGE; alg_result = INT_MIN; goto alg_cleanup; } while (1) { int alg_condition = (r < rows); if (alg_error) { errno = ERANGE; alg_result = INT_MIN; goto alg_cleanup; } if (!alg_condition) break; c = 0; if (alg_error) { errno = ERANGE; alg_result = INT_MIN; goto alg_cleanup; } while (1) { int alg_condition = (c < cols); if (alg_error) { errno = ERANGE; alg_result = INT_MIN; goto alg_cleanup; } if (!alg_condition) break; int alg_condition_1 = ((r == 0) && (c == 0)); if (alg_error) { errno = ERANGE; alg_result = INT_MIN; goto alg_cleanup; } if (alg_condition_1) { dp[c] = grid[0]; if (alg_error) { errno = ERANGE; alg_result = INT_MIN; goto alg_cleanup; } } else { int alg_condition_2 = (r == 0); if (alg_error) { errno = ERANGE; alg_result = INT_MIN; goto alg_cleanup; } if (alg_condition_2) { dp[c] = alg_add(dp[alg_sub(c, 1, &alg_error)], grid[c], &alg_error); if (alg_error) { errno = ERANGE; alg_result = INT_MIN; goto alg_cleanup; } } else { int alg_condition_3 = (c == 0); if (alg_error) { errno = ERANGE; alg_result = INT_MIN; goto alg_cleanup; } if (alg_condition_3) { dp[c] = alg_add(dp[c], grid[alg_mul(r, cols, &alg_error)], &alg_error); if (alg_error) { errno = ERANGE; alg_result = INT_MIN; goto alg_cleanup; } } else { dp[c] = alg_add(alg_min(dp[c], dp[alg_sub(c, 1, &alg_error)]), grid[alg_add(alg_mul(r, cols, &alg_error), c, &alg_error)], &alg_error); if (alg_error) { errno = ERANGE; alg_result = INT_MIN; goto alg_cleanup; } } } } c = alg_add(c, 1, &alg_error); if (alg_error) { errno = ERANGE; alg_result = INT_MIN; goto alg_cleanup; } } r = alg_add(r, 1, &alg_error); if (alg_error) { errno = ERANGE; alg_result = INT_MIN; goto alg_cleanup; } } alg_result = dp[alg_sub(cols, 1, &alg_error)]; if (alg_error) { errno = ERANGE; alg_result = INT_MIN; goto alg_cleanup; } goto alg_cleanup; alg_cleanup: free(dp); return alg_result; } int main(void) { int grid[] = {1, 3, 1, 1, 5, 1, 4, 2, 1}; int rows = 3; int cols = 3; int result = minimum_path_sum(grid, 9, rows, cols); printf("%d\n", result); if (errno) { perror("algorithm"); return 1; } return 0; } |
