DIFFICULTY:

EASY.

PREREQUISITES:

DP.

EXPLANATION:

Consider for N = 1, we just need to find minimum cost of the classes on the single day.
For N \geq 2, we fill the table, dp[][] with a high value. Dp[i][k] is the minimum total cost upto i th day if we attend the k th class on that day. So on i th day, for each class k in range (0, M), we calculate minimum total cost (including that class) from minimum total cost of i-1 th day (excluding that class). On nth day, we need to return minimum total cost upto nth day.

#include<bits/stdc++.h>

#define ll long long
#define inf 1000000005

using namespace std;

            dp[i][j] = inf;
        }

    }

    for(int j = 0; j < m; j++){
