1135. Connecting Cities With Minimum Cost

Medium

1155FavoriteShare

There are N cities numbered from 1 to N.

You are given connections, where each connections[i] = [city1, city2, cost] represents the cost to connect city1 and city2 together.  (A connection is bidirectional: connecting city1 and city2 is the same as connecting city2 and city1.)

Return the minimum cost so that for every pair of cities, there exists a path of connections (possibly of length 1) that connects those two cities together.  The cost is the sum of the connection costs used. If the task is impossible, return -1.

 

Example 1:

Input: N = 3, connections = [[1,2,5],[1,3,6],[2,3,1]] Output: 6 Explanation: Choosing any 2 edges will connect all cities so we choose the minimum 2.
