The problem

There is a country of n cities numbered from 0 to n - 1 where all the cities are connected by bi-directional roads. The roads are represented as a 2D integer array edges where edges[i] = [xi, yi, timei] denotes a road between cities xi and yi that takes timei minutes to travel.

Example

Input
maxTime = 30, edges = [[0,1,10],[1,2,10],[2,5,10],[0,3,1],[3,4,10],[4,5,15]], passingFees = [5,1,2,20,20,3]
Output
11
Explanation
The path to take is 0 -> 1 -> 2 -> 5, which takes 30 minutes and has $11 worth of passing fees.

Python solution

Python
class Solution:
    def minCost(
        self, maxTime: int, edges: List[List[int]], passingFees: List[int]
    ) -> int:
        m, n = maxTime, len(passingFees)
        f = [[inf] * n for _ in range(m + 1)]
        f[0][0] = passingFees[0]
        for i in range(1, m + 1):
            for x, y, t in edges:
                if t <= i:
                    f[i][x] = min(f[i][x], f[i - t][y] + passingFees[x])
                    f[i][y] = min(f[i][y], f[i - t][x] + passingFees[y])
        ans = min(f[i][n - 1] for i in range(m + 1))
        return ans if ans < inf else -1
