Minimum Cost to Connect Sticks

intermediatelayer I3 · Heaps & priority queues5 tests

You have sticks of the given lengths. Connecting two sticks of lengths x and y costs x + y and produces a single stick of length x + y. Return the minimum total cost of joining them all into one stick.

  • You may connect the sticks in any order
  • Zero or one stick costs 0 — there is nothing to join
  • A MinHeap class is already written for you in the starter — you only need the algorithm

Stuck?
