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.
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.
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.

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：给出n个字符串和n个值，n个值为反转对应的字符所需要的花费，要求花费最少使n个字符按字典升序排列。
思路：每一个字符串都有两种状态，反转或不反转，dp[0][i]，dp[1][i]分别表示0~i，反转和不反转最小花费。当dp[0][n-1]和dp[1][n-1]都为inf时，无解。
（int存不下，所以要用long long，那么inf也要非常大..）
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
#define int long long
#define inf 0x3f3f3f3f3f3f3f3f
using namespace std;
const int maxn = 1e5 + 10;
const int mod = 1e9+7;
int lps[maxn], lpa[maxn];
map<int, int> f;
int dp[2][maxn];
int flag, n, v, m, k;
/*
0 反转
1 无操作
*/
string str[maxn], st[maxn];
signed main()
{
int n;
while(~scanf("%lld", &n))
{
for(int i=0; i<n; i++)

dp[0][i] = inf;
dp[1][i] = inf;
}
for(int i=0; i<n; i++)
{
cin>>str[i];
st[i] = str[i];
reverse(st[i].begin(), st[i].end());
}
dp[0][0] = lps[0], dp[1][0] = 0;
for(int i=1; i<n; i++)
{
if(str[i] >= str[i-1])

}
if(st[i] >= str[i-1])
{
dp[0][i] = min(dp[0][i], dp[1][i-1] + lps[i]);
}
if(st[i] >= st[i-1])
{
dp[0][i] = min(dp[0][i], dp[0][i-1] + lps[i]);
}
}
if(dp[0][n-1] == inf&& dp[1][n-1] == inf)
{
printf("-1\n");
}
else printf("%lld\n", min(dp[0][n-1], dp[1][n-1]));
}
return 0;
