Description
A catenym is a pair of words separated by a period such that the last letter of the first word is the same as the last letter of the second. For example, the following are catenyms:
A compound catenym is a sequence of three or more words separated by periods such that each adjacent pair of words forms a catenym. For example,
aloha.aloha.arachnid.dog.gopher.rat.tiger
Given a dictionary of lower case words, you are to find a compound catenym that contains each of the words exactly once.
dog.gopher gopher.rat rat.tiger aloha.aloha arachnid.dog
A compound catenym is a sequence of three or more words separated by periods such that each adjacent pair of words forms a catenym. For example,
aloha.aloha.arachnid.dog.gopher.rat.tiger
Given a dictionary of lower case words, you are to find a compound catenym that contains each of the words exactly once.
Input
The first line of standard input contains t, the number of test cases. Each test case begins with 3 <= n <= 1000 - the number of words in the dictionary. n distinct dictionary words follow; each word is a string of between 1 and 20 lowercase letters on a line by itself.
Output
For each test case, output a line giving the lexicographically least compound catenym that contains each dictionary word exactly once. Output "***" if there is no solution.
Sample Input
2 6 aloha arachnid dog gopher rat tiger 3 oak maple elm
Sample Output
aloha.arachnid.dog.gopher.rat.tiger ***
欧拉图相关定理:
1.无向连通图G是欧拉图,当且仅当G不含奇数度结点(G的所有结点度数为偶数);
2.无向连通图G含有欧拉通路,当且仅当G有零个或两个奇数度的结点;
3.有向连通图D是欧拉图,当且仅当该图为连通图且D中每个结点的入度=出度
4.有向连通图D含有欧拉通路,当且仅当该图为连通图且D中除两个结点外,其余每个结点的入度=出度,且此两点满足deg-(u)-deg+(v)=±1。(起始点s的入度=出度-1,结束点t的出度=入度-1 或两个点的入度=出度)
5.一个非平凡连通图是欧拉图当且仅当它的每条边属于奇数个环。
6.如果图G是欧拉图且 H = G - uv,则H有奇数个u,v-迹仅在最后访问v;同时,在这一序列的u,v-迹中,不是路径的迹的条数是偶数
本题实际是要求欧拉通路,根据第4条定理,先使用并查集判断是否为连通图,至于出度入度的问题只需简单统计即可。
