' TASK #2 > Triangle Sum
' Submitted by: Mohammad S Anwar
' You are given triangle array.
'
' Write a script to find the minimum path sum from top to bottom.
'
' When you are on index i on the current row then you may move to either
' index i or index i + 1 on the next row.
'
' Example 1:
' Input: Triangle = [ [1], [2,4], [6,4,9], [5,1,7,2] ]
' Output: 8
'
' Explanation: The given triangle
'
'             1
'            2 4
'           6 4 9
'          5 1 7 2
'
' The minimum path sum from top to bottom:  1 + 2 + 4 + 1 = 8
'
'              [1]
'            [2]  4
'            6 [4] 9
'           5 [1] 7 2
' Example 2:
' Input: Triangle = [ [3], [3,1], [5,2,3], [4,3,1,3] ]
' Output: 7

'           5 2 3
'          4 3 1 3
'
' The minimum path sum from top to bottom: 3 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 7
