Graph that changes with every step you make

This is task from my trainee interview. I haven't found the answer yet and hope you can help me. (Interview was about 2 weeks ago and I failed). So - you got robot-drone with wheels. You recieve photo from space which converts to matrix with heights above sea level (every element is square 100*100 meters). For example:

3 2 1 0 1 2 3
3 2 1 0 1 2 3
3 2 1 0 1 2 3
3 2 1 0 1 2 3

//thats the road between 2 mountains ( 0 0 0 0 - road, 1 higher, 2 higher and so on)
rules: every move costs 1 point of fuel, but ascent or descent - costs difference between heights. For example if you go from 4 to 2 - it would be (4-2 + 1 (every step costs one)) = 3 You need to find the shortest path from top left point to bottom right point. AND I KNOW HOW TO DO IT. We can use Dijkstra algorithm and everything works fine.

But the hardest point in the task - each diagonal move costs twice as much as the previous one. So first diagonal move costs 1, second 2, third 4, forth 8 and so on. I don't know how create this rule and how combine it with Dijkstra algorithm, to make look it simple and work fine.

If you have solution - please share it.

i just read a book on algorithms and it didn't help me(

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
