Minimum Cost to Visit Every Node
Problem Statement
Prereq: Bitmask Introduction
Given a directed weighted graph as a 2D list where graph[i][j] is the edge weight from node i to j (0 means no edge), find the minimum cost to visit every node starting from node 0. You don't need to return to the start. Return -1 if impossible.
graph = [ [0, 100, 100, 1], [0, 0, 100, 0], [0, 1, 0, 0], [0, 20, 1, 0] ] Answer: 3 (path: 0 → 3 → 2 → 1)
