Simple prefix compression
总时间限制: 2000ms 内存限制: 65536kB
描述
Many databases store the data in the character fields (and especially indices) using prefix compression. This technique compresses a sequence of strings A1, ..., AN by the following method: if there are strings Ai = ai,1ai,2...ai,p and Ai + 1 = ai+1,1ai+1,2...ai+1,q
such that for some j ≤ min(p, q) ai,1 = ai+1,1, ai,2 = ai+1,2, ... ai,j = ai+1,j, then the second string is stored as [j]ai+1,j+1ai+1,j+2... ai+1,q, where [j] is a single character with code j.
If j = 0, that is, strings do not have any common prefix, then the second string is prefixed with zero byte, and so the total length actually increases.
Constraints
1 ≤ N ≤ 10000, 1 ≤ length(Ai) ≤ 255.
输入
First line of input contains integer number N, with following N lines containing strings A1 ... AN
输出
Output must contain a single integer -- minimal total length of compressed strings.

这周学的是递归,但是这题好像不用递归做直接模拟就可以了,不过这样AC的结果内存较大<span style="color: rgb(35, 31, 23); font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.63636302947998px; line-height: 21px;">4564kB,用时<span style="color: rgb(35, 31, 23); font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.63636302947998px; line-height: 21px;">370ms</span></span>
