Description
Vasiliy is fond of solving different tasks. Today he found one he wasn't able to solve himself, so he asks you to help.
Vasiliy is given n strings consisting of lowercase English letters. He wants them to be sorted in lexicographical order (as in the dictionary), but he is not allowed to swap any of them. The only operation he is allowed to do is to reverse any of them (first character becomes last, second becomes one before last and so on).
To reverse the i-th string Vasiliy has to spent ci units of energy. He is interested in the minimum amount of energy he has to spent in order to have strings sorted in lexicographical order.
String A is lexicographically smaller than string B if it is shorter than B (|A| < |B|) and is its prefix, or if none of them is a prefix of the other and at the first position where they differ character in A is smaller than the character in B.
For the purpose of this problem, two equal strings nearby do not break the condition of sequence being sorted lexicographically.
Input
The first line of the input contains a single integer n (2 ≤ n ≤ 100 000) — the number of strings.
The second line contains n integers ci (0 ≤ ci ≤ 109), the i-th of them is equal to the amount of energy Vasiliy has to spent in order to reverse the i-th string.
Then follow n lines, each containing a string consisting of lowercase English letters. The total length of these strings doesn't exceed 100 000.
Output
If it is impossible to reverse some of the strings such that they will be located in lexicographical order, print - 1. Otherwise, print the minimum total amount of energy Vasiliy has to spent.
Sample Input
2 1 2 ba ac
1
3 1 3 1 aa ba ac
1
2 5 5 bbb aaa
-1
2 3 3 aaa aa
-1
Hint
In the second sample one has to reverse string 2 or string 3. To amount of energy required to reverse the string 3 is smaller.
In the third sample, both strings do not change after reverse and they go in the wrong order, so the answer is - 1.
In the fourth sample, both strings consists of characters 'a' only, but in the sorted order string "aa" should go before string "aaa", thus the answer is - 1.
/*
题意:给你n个字符串,要求满足字典序排序.每个操作需要花费能量,操作只能反转.如果不能满足题意输出-1.
类型:动态规划
分析:dp[i][0]表示满足字典序下第i个字符串不翻转的费用
dp[i][1]表示满足字典序下第i个字符串翻转的费用
初始条件dp[1][0]=0;dp[1][1]=cost[1];
然后注意转移状态别写错,还有long long 就行了
