Min Cost Climbing Stairs

You are given an integer array cost where cost[i] is the cost of the i^th step on a staircase. Once you pay the cost, you can either climb one or two steps.

You can either start from the step with index 0, or the step with index 1.

Return the minimum cost to reach the top of the floor.

Example 1
Inputcost = [10,15,20]
Output15
You start at index 1, pay 15, and climb two steps to reach the top for a total cost of 15.
Example 2
Inputcost = [1,100,1,1,1,100,1,1,100,1]
Output6
You start at index 0 and pay costs along steps 0, 2, 4, 6, 7, and 9 for a total cost of 6.

Constraints

  • 2 <= cost.length <= 1000
  • 0 <= cost[i] <= 999
