text: Minimum cost to reach a point N from 0 with two different operations allowed | Function to return minimum cost to reach destination ; Initialize cost to 0 ; going backwards until we reach initial position ; if 2 * X jump is better than X + 1 ; if X + 1 jump is better ; return cost ; Driver Code
code: < ? php function minCost ( $ N , $ P , $ Q ) { $ cost = 0 ; while ( $ N > 0 ) { if ( $ N & 1 ) { $ cost += $ P ; $ N -- ; } else { $ temp = $ N / 2 ; if ( $ temp * $ P > $ Q ) $ cost += $ Q ; else $ cost += $ P * $ temp ; $ N /= 2 ; } } return $ cost ; } $ N = 9 ; $ P = 5 ; $ Q = 1 ; echo minCost ( $ N , $ P , $ Q ) ; ? >
