3794 Find The Minimum Amount Of Time To Brew Potions

Find the Minimum Amount of Time to Brew Potions image

You are given two integer arrays, skill and mana, of length n and m, respectively.

In a laboratory, n wizards must brew m potions in order. Each potion has a mana capacity mana[j] and must pass through all the wizards sequentially to be brewed properly. The time taken by the ith wizard on the jth potion is timeij = skill[i] * mana[j].

Since the brewing process is delicate, a potion must be passed to the next wizard immediately after the current wizard completes their work. This means the timing must be synchronized so that each wizard begins working on a potion exactly when it arrives. ​

Return the minimum amount of time required for the potions to be brewed properly.

 

Example 1:

Input: skill = [1,5,2,4], mana = [5,1,4,2]

Output: 110

As an example for why wizard 0 cannot start working on the 1st potion before time t = 52, consider the case where the wizards started preparing the 1st potion at time t = 50. At time t = 58, wizard 2 is done with the 1st potion, but wizard 3 will still be working on the 0th potion till time t = 60.

Example 2:

Input: skill = [1,1,1], mana = [1,1,1]

Output: 5

Explanation:

Preparation of the 0th potion begins at time t = 0, and is completed by time t = 3.
Preparation of the 1st potion begins at time t = 1, and is completed by time t = 4.
Preparation of the 2nd potion begins at time t = 2, and is completed by time t = 5.

Example 3:

Input: skill = [1,2,3,4], mana = [1,2]

Output: 21

n == skill.length
m == mana.length
1 <= n, m <= 5000
1 <= mana[i], skill[i] <= 5000

class Solution:
    def minTime(self, skill: List[int], mana: List[int]) -> int:
        n, m = len(skill), len(mana)
        times = [0] * n
        for j in range(m):
            cur_time = 0
            for i in range(n):
                cur_time = max(cur_time, times[i]) + skill[i] * mana[j]
            times[n - 1] = cur_time
            for i in range(n - 2, -1, -1):
                times[i] = times[i + 1] - skill[i + 1] * mana[j]
        return times[n - 1]
