2742\. Painting the Walls

Hard

You are given two **0-indexed** integer arrays, `cost` and `time`, of size `n` representing the costs and the time taken to paint `n` different walls respectively. There are two painters available:

*   A** paid painter** that paints the ith wall in `time[i]` units of time and takes `cost[i]` units of money.
*   A** free painter** that paints **any** wall in `1` unit of time at a cost of `0`. But the free painter can only be used if the paid painter is already **occupied**.

Return _the minimum amount of money required to paint the_ `n` _walls._

**Example 1:**

**Input:** cost = [1,2,3,2], time = [1,2,3,2]

**Output:** 3

**Explanation:** The walls at index 0 and 1 will be painted by the paid painter, and it will take 3 units of time; meanwhile, the free painter will paint the walls at index 2 and 3, free of cost in 2 units of time. Thus, the total cost is 1 + 2 = 3.

**Example 2:**

**Input:** cost = [2,3,4,2], time = [1,1,1,1]

**Output:** 4

**Explanation:** The walls at index 0 and 3 will be painted by the paid painter, and it will take 2 units of time; meanwhile, the free painter will paint the walls at index 1 and 2, free of cost in 2 units of time. Thus, the total cost is 2 + 2 = 4.

**Constraints:**

*   `1 <= cost.length <= 500`
*   `cost.length == time.length`
*   1 <= cost[i] <= 106
*   `1 <= time[i] <= 500`
