Min Jumps Problem Statement

In Ninja town, represented as an N * M grid, people travel by jumping over buildings in the grid's cells. Santa is starting at cell (0, 0) and must deliver gifts to cell (N-1, M-1) on Christmas Eve. Help Santa find the quickest path to deliver gifts with the least travel time.

From any cell (x, y), Santa can jump to (x+1, y+1), (x+1, y), or (x, y+1), as long as he stays within the grid boundaries. The travel time between two buildings equals the absolute difference in their heights.

Example:

Input:
 T = 1
N = 3, M = 3
grid = [[1, 3, 5], [2, 8, 0], [4, 7, 6]]
Output:
7
Explanation:

One optimal path could be from (0, 0) -> (0, 1) -> (1, 2) -> (2, 2).

Constraints:

  • 1 <= T <= 10^2
  • 1 <= N <= 10^2
  • 1 <= M <= 10^2
  • 1 <= Height <= 10^5
