Min Cost Path in Grid
You are given a grid of size m x n filled with non-negative integers, where each cell represents the cost to enter that cell. The goal is to reach the bottom-right corner starting from the top-left corner, minimizing the total cost. You can only move either down or right at any point in time.
Input format:
- The first line contains integers m and n (1 <= m, n <= 100).
- Each of the next m lines contains n space-separated integers representing the cost matrix (0 <= cost <= 100).
Output format:
- Print a single integer representing the minimal cost to reach the bottom-right corner.
Example:
Input:
3 3
1 3 1
1 5 1
4 2 1
Output:
7
