Minimum Sum Path In 3-D Array in C++
We are given a cube which can be formed using a 3-D array as cube[length][breadth][height]. The task is to calculate the minimum sum path which will be achieved by traversing the cube and hence print the result.
Let us see various input output scenarios for this -
In − int cube[length][breadth][height] = { { {2, 4, 1}, {3, 4, 5}, {9, 8, 7}}, { {5, 3, 2}, {7, 6, 5}, {8, 7, 6}}, { {3, 2, 1}, {4, 3, 2}, {5, 4, 3}}}
Out − Minimum Sum Path In 3-D Array are: 15
Explanation − we are given a cube having length, breadth and height. Now, we will calculate the minimum sum path in 3-D array. So, it will start from 2 + 4 + 1 + 3 + 5 i.e. 15.
In − int cube[length][breadth][height] = { { {1, 2}, {7, 8}}, { {3, 5}, {9, 16}}}
Out − Minimum Sum Path In 3-D Array are: 24
Explanation − we are given a cube having length, breadth and height. Now, we will calculate the minimum sum path in 3-D array. So, it will start from 1 + 2 + 5 + 16 i.e. 24.
Approach used in the below program is as follows
Input a 3-D array to form a cube with integer types values. Pass the data to the function as Minimum_SubPath(cube).
Inside the function Minimum_SubPath(cube)
Create an array of the same size as the cube and initializes arr[0][0][0] to cube[0][0][0].
Start loop FOR from i to 1 till length of a cube and set arr[i][0][0] to arr[i-1][0][0] + cube[i][0][0].
Start loop FOR from j to 1 till breadth of a cube and set arr[0][j][0] to arr[0][j-1][0] + cube[0][j][0]
Start loop FOR from k to 1 till height of a cube and set arr[0][0][k] to arr[0][0][k-1] + cube[0][0][k]
Start loop FOR from i to 1 till length of a cube and start another loop FOR from j to 1 till breadth of an array and set min_val to Minimum(arr[i-1][j][0], arr[i][j-1][0], INT_MAX) and arr[i][j][0] to min_val + cube[i][j][0]
Start loop FOR from i to 1 till length of a cube and start another loop FOR from k to 1 till height of an array and set min_val to Minimum(arr[i-1][0][k], arr[i][0][k-1], INT_MAX) and arr[i][0][k] = min_val + cube[i][0][k]
Start loop FOR from k to 1 till height of a cube and start another loop FOR from j to 1 till breadth of an array and set min_val to Minimum(arr[0][j][k-1], arr[0][j-1][k], INT_MAX) and arr[0][j][k] = min_val + cube[0][j][k]
Start loop FOR from i to 1 till length of a cube and start another loop FOR from j to 1 till breadth of an array and start another loop from k to 1 till height of a cube and set min_val to Minimum(arr[i-1][j][k], arr[i][j-1][k], arr[i][j][k-1]) and arr[i][j][k] = min_val + cube[i][j][k]
Return arr[length-1][breadth-1][height-1]
Inside the function Minimum(int a, int b, int c)
Check IF a less than b and a less than c then return a.
Else, return c
Else IF, b less than c then return b
Else, return c
Example
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
#define length 3
#define breadth 3
#define height 3
int Minimum(int a, int b, int c){
if(a < b){
if(a < c){
return a;
}
else{
return c;
}
}
else if(b < c){
return b;
}
else{
return c;
}
}
int Minimum_SubPath(int cube[][breadth][height]){
int i, j, k;
int arr[length][breadth][height];
arr[0][0][0] = cube[0][0][0];
for(i = 1; i < length; i++){
arr[i][0][0] = arr[i-1][0][0] + cube[i][0][0];
}
for(j = 1; j < breadth; j++){
arr[0][j][0] = arr[0][j-1][0] + cube[0][j][0];
}
for(k = 1; k < height; k++){
arr[0][0][k] = arr[0][0][k-1] + cube[0][0][k];
}
for(i = 1; i < length; i++){
for(j = 1; j < breadth; j++){
int min_val = Minimum(arr[i-1][j][0], arr[i][j-1][0], INT_MAX);
arr[i][j][0] = min_val + cube[i][j][0];
}
}
for(i = 1; i < length; i++){
for(k = 1; k < height; k++){
int min_val = Minimum(arr[i-1][0][k], arr[i][0][k-1], INT_MAX);
arr[i][0][k] = min_val + cube[i][0][k];
}
}
for(k = 1; k < height; k++){
for(j = 1; j < breadth; j++){
int min_val = Minimum(arr[0][j][k-1], arr[0][j-1][k], INT_MAX);
arr[0][j][k] = min_val + cube[0][j][k];
}
}
for(i = 1; i < length; i++){
for(j = 1; j < breadth; j++){
for(k = 1; k < height; k++){
int min_val = Minimum(arr[i-1][j][k], arr[i][j-1][k], arr[i][j][k-1]);
arr[i][j][k] = min_val + cube[i][j][k];
}
}
}
return arr[length-1][breadth-1][height-1];
}
int main(){
int cube[length][breadth][height] = { { {2, 4, 1}, {3, 4, 5}, {9, 8, 7}},
{ {5, 3, 2}, {7, 6, 5}, {8, 7, 6}},
{ {3, 2, 1}, {4, 3, 2}, {5, 4, 3}}};
cout<<"Minimum Sum Path In 3-D Array are: "<<Minimum_SubPath(cube);
return 0;
}Output
If we run the above code it will generate the following Output
Minimum Sum Path In 3-D Array are: 15
