Minimum Path Sum

You are given a grid (2D list) of non-negative integers, where each cell represents the cost of stepping into that cell. You need to find a path from the top-left corner to the bottom-right corner that minimizes the total cost of this path. You can only move either down or right at any point. Write a program that reads input and prints the minimum path sum. Input format: - The first line contains two integers m and n (1 <= m, n <= 100) - the number of rows and columns. - The next m lines contain n integers each, representing the grid. Output format: - A single integer representing the minimum path sum. Example: Input: 3 3 1 3 1 1 5 1 4 2 1 Output: 7
