Output

To solve this problem, we need to convert a given Python dynamic programming (DP) solution into C. The goal is to determine the minimum cost to take a specified number of lines from an array, considering both the cost of taking a line and a quadratic penalty based on the position of the line. ### Approach The approach involves using dynamic programming to build a 3D DP array where each entry `dp[i][j][k]` represents the minimum cost to take `j` lines starting from the `i-th` position with a penalty factor `k`. The key steps are: 1. **Initialization**: The DP array is initialized to a large value (FLT_MAX) to represent infinity. The base case is when we reach the end of the array (`i == size`) with no lines left to take (`j == 0`), where the cost is zero. 2. **DP Transition**: For each position `i`, number of lines left `j`, and penalty factor `k`, we consider two options: - **Option 1**: Do not take the current line, moving to the next position with an incremented penalty factor. - **Option 2**: Take the current line, adding the line's cost and the quadratic penalty, then moving to the next position with the penalty factor reset. 3. **Result Extraction**: The result is found in `dp[0][lines_left][6]`, representing the minimum cost starting from the beginning of the array with the initial penalty factor of 6. ### Solution Code

### Explanation The solution uses a 3D DP array to store the minimum cost for each state defined by the current position, remaining lines, and penalty factor. The array is iterated from the end of the input array backwards to handle dependencies correctly. Each state is updated based on the two possible actions (taking or not taking the line), ensuring the minimum cost is always chosen. The final result is extracted from the state representing the start of the array with all lines left and the initial penalty factor. This approach efficiently computes the solution using dynamic programming, ensuring optimal substructure and overlapping subproblems are handled correctly.
