Problem

You are given two 0-indexed strings source and target, both of length n and consisting of lowercase English letters. You are also given two 0-indexed character arrays original and changed, and an integer array cost, where cost[i] represents the cost of changing the character original[i] to the character changed[i].

You start with the string source. In one operation, you can pick a character x from the string and change it to the character y at a cost of z if there exists any index j such that cost[j] == z, original[j] == x, and changed[j] == y.

Return **the *minimum* cost to convert the string source to the string target using any number of operations. If it is impossible to convert** source to target, return -1.

Note that there may exist indices i, j such that original[j] == original[i] and changed[j] == changed[i].

  Example 1:

Input: source = "abcd", target = "acbe", original = ["a","b","c","c","e","d"], changed = ["b","c","b","e","b","e"], cost = [2,5,5,1,2,20]
Output: 28
Explanation: To convert the string "abcd" to string "acbe":
- Change value at index 1 from 'b' to 'c' at a cost of 5.
- Change value at index 2 from 'c' to 'e' at a cost of 1.
- Change value at index 2 from 'e' to 'b' at a cost of 2.
- Change value at index 3 from 'd' to 'e' at a cost of 20.
The total cost incurred is 5 + 1 + 2 + 20 = 28.
It can be shown that this is the minimum possible cost.

Example 2:

Input: source = "aaaa", target = "bbbb", original = ["a","c"], changed = ["c","b"], cost = [1,2]
Output: 12
Explanation: To change the character 'a' to 'b' change the character 'a' to 'c' at a cost of 1, followed by changing the character 'c' to 'b' at a cost of 2, for a total cost of 1 + 2 = 3. To change all occurrences of 'a' to 'b', a total cost of 3 * 4 = 12 is incurred.

Example 3:

Input: source = "abcd", target = "abce", original = ["a"], changed = ["e"], cost = [10000]
Output: -1
Explanation: It is impossible to convert source to target because the value at index 3 cannot be changed from 'd' to 'e'.

var minimumCost = function(source, target, original, changed, cost) {

        adjacentMap[original[i]] = adjacentMap[original[i]] || {};
        adjacentMap[original[i]][changed[i]] = Math.min(
            adjacentMap[original[i]][changed[i]] || Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER,

    var res = 0;
    var minCostMap = {};
    for (var j = 0; j < source.length; j++) {
        minCostMap[source[j]] = minCostMap[source[j]] || dijkstra(source[j], adjacentMap);
        var costMap = minCostMap[source[j]];
        if (costMap[target[j]] === undefined) return -1;
        res += costMap[target[j]];
    }
    return res;
};

var dijkstra = function(s, adjacentMap) {
    var queue = new MinPriorityQueue();
    var minCostMap = {};
    queue.enqueue(s, 0);
    while (queue.size()) {
        var { element, priority } = queue.dequeue();
        if (minCostMap[element] <= priority) continue;
        minCostMap[element] = priority;
        var arr = Object.keys(adjacentMap[element] || {});
        for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
            queue.enqueue(arr[i], priority + adjacentMap[element][arr[i]]);
        }
    }
    return minCostMap;
