# Minimize cost to convert given two integers to zero using given operations

Given two integers X and Y, and two values cost1 and cost2, the task is to convert the given two numbers equal to zero at minimal cost by performing the following two types of operations:

• Increase or decrease any one of them by 1 at cost1.
• Increase or decrease both of them by 1 at cost2.

Examples:

Input: X = 1, Y = 3, cost1 = 391, cost2 = 555
Output: 1337
Explanation:
Reduce Y to 1 using the first operation twice and convert both X and Y from 1 to 0 using the second operation.
Hence, the total cost = 391 * 2 + 555 = 1337.

Input: X = 12, Y = 7, cost1 = 12, cost2 = 7
Output:
Explanation:
Reduce X to 7 using first operation and then convert both X and Y to 0 using the second operation.
Hence, the total cost = 12 * 5 + 7 * 7 = 109

Approach:
The most optimal way to solve the problem is:

• Reduce the maximum of X and Y to the minimum by using first operation. This increases the cost by abs(X – Y) * cost1.
• Then, reduce both X and Y to 0 using the second operation. This increase the cost by minimum of (X, Y) * cost2.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:
