LeetCode - Minimum Path Sum

Question Definition

Given a m x n grid filled with non-negative numbers, find a path from top left to bottom right which minimizes the sum of all numbers along its path.

Note: You can only move either down or right at any point in time.

Example 1:

[[1,3,1],
 [1,5,1],
 [4,2,1]]

Given the above grid map, return 7. Because the path 1→3→1→1→1 minimizes the sum.

Java Solution (I)

public int minPathSum(int[][] grid) {
    if(grid.length == 0)
        return 0;
    for(int i = 0; i < grid.length; i++){
        for(int j = 0; j < grid[i].length; j++){
            if(i == 0 && j == 0)
                continue;
            else if(i == 0)
                grid[i][j] = grid[0][j - 1] + grid[i][j];
            else if(j == 0)
                grid[i][j] = grid[i - 1][0] + grid[i][j];
            else
                grid[i][j] = Math.min(grid[i - 1][j], grid[i][j - 1]) + grid[i][j];
        }
    }

    return grid[grid.length - 1][grid[0].length - 1];
}
