check out this solution.I think this works correct
will explain logic if u find it correct.
#include <stdio.h>
#define SIZE 4
int result[SIZE];
int final_cost = 100000;
int curr_ans[SIZE];
void save_arr(int *result)
{
int i;
for (i=0 ;i<SIZE ;i++) {
curr_ans[i] = result[i];
}
}
void print_ans()
{
int i;
for (i=0 ;i<SIZE ;i++) {
printf (" %d",curr_ans[i]);
}
}
void rec (int *arr,int index,int min,int cost)
{
if (index >= 0) {
// keep the arr[index]
if (arr[index] <= min) {
result[index] = arr[index];
rec (arr,index-1,arr[index],cost);
} else {
result[index] = min;
cost += (arr[index] - min);
rec (arr,index-1,min,cost);
cost -= (arr[index] - min);
}
// remove the arr[index]
result[index] = 0;
cost += arr[index];
rec (arr,index-1,min,cost);
} else if (index == -1) {
if (cost < final_cost) {
final_cost = cost;
save_arr(result);
}
return;
}
}
int main(int argc,char *argv[])
{
int i;
int arr[SIZE] = {10,3,11,12};
rec(arr,SIZE-1,arr[SIZE]+1,0);
printf ("\n minimum cost = %d \n sorted array =",final_cost);
print_ans();
return 0;
}
