find-the-minimum-amount-of-time-to-brew-potions
You are given two integer arrays, skill and mana, of length n and m, respectively.
In a laboratory, n wizards must brew m potions in order. Each potion has a mana capacity mana[j] and must pass through all the wizards sequentially to be brewed properly. The time taken by the ith wizard on the jth potion is timeij = skill[i] * mana[j].
Since the brewing process is delicate, a potion must be passed to the next wizard immediately after the current wizard completes their work. This means the timing must be synchronized so that each wizard begins working on a potion exactly when it arrives.
Return the minimum amount of time required for the potions to be brewed properly.
Example 1:
Input: skill = [1,5,2,4], mana = [5,1,4,2]
Output: 110

As an example for why wizard 0 cannot start working on the 1st potion before time t = 52, consider the case where the wizards started preparing the 1st potion at time t = 50. At time t = 58, wizard 2 is done with the 1st potion, but wizard 3 will still be working on the 0th potion till time t = 60.
Example 2:
Input: skill = [1,1,1], mana = [1,1,1]
Output: 5
Explanation:
- Preparation of the 0th potion begins at time
t = 0, and is completed by timet = 3. - Preparation of the 1st potion begins at time
t = 1, and is completed by timet = 4. - Preparation of the 2nd potion begins at time
t = 2, and is completed by timet = 5.
Example 3:
Input: skill = [1,2,3,4], mana = [1,2]
Output: 21
Constraints:
n == skill.lengthm == mana.length1 <= n, m <= 50001 <= mana[i], skill[i] <= 5000
