Break The Board Problem Statement
Your task is to break a board of given dimensions 'L' by 'W' into 'L' * 'W' smaller squares, ensuring the total cost of breaking is minimized.
Input:
The first line contains an integer 'T' indicating the number of test cases.
For each test case, the input is as follows:
- A line with two space-separated integers, 'L' and 'W', representing the length and width.
- A line with 'L' - 1 integers denoting the cost of each horizontal cut.
- A line with 'W' - 1 integers denoting the cost of each vertical cut.
Output:
For each test case, output an integer representing the minimum cost required to break the board into 'L' * 'W' squares.
Example:
Input:
1
4 3
2 1 3
1 2
Output:
10
Constraints:
1 ≤ T ≤ 10
2 ≤ L, W ≤ 104
1 ≤ costL[i], costW[i] ≤ 105
- Time Limit: 1 second
Note:
You are not required to print anything manually; implement the function to get the expected results.
