<p>You are given an integer array <code>cost</code> where <code>cost[i]</code> is the cost of <code>i<sup>th</sup></code> step on a staircase. Once you pay the cost, you can either climb one or two steps.</p>

<p>You can either start from the step with index <code>0</code>, or the step with index <code>1</code>.</p>

<p>Return <em>the minimum cost to reach the top of the floor</em>.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong class="example">Example 1:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> cost = [10,<u>15</u>,20]
<strong>Output:</strong> 15
<strong>Explanation:</strong> You will start at index 1.
- Pay 15 and climb two steps to reach the top.
The total cost is 15.
</pre>

<p><strong class="example">Example 2:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> cost = [<u>1</u>,100,<u>1</u>,1,<u>1</u>,100,<u>1</u>,<u>1</u>,100,<u>1</u>]
<strong>Output:</strong> 6
<strong>Explanation:</strong> You will start at index 0.
- Pay 1 and climb two steps to reach index 2.
- Pay 1 and climb two steps to reach index 4.
- Pay 1 and climb two steps to reach index 6.
- Pay 1 and climb one step to reach index 7.
- Pay 1 and climb two steps to reach index 9.
- Pay 1 and climb one step to reach the top.
The total cost is 6.
