The main idea : given n strings, each string can be reversed before and after the position (the first letter to the last, the second letter to the second to the penultimate) need to spend the strength of CI each time, require the given n string by the minimum strength in dictionary order, output strength value, Output-1 If it cannot be sorted by dictionary order
data range:2?≤? n? ≤?100?000, ci (0?≤? Ci? ≤?1e9) The total length of all strings will not exceed 1000000.
problem-solving ideas: This is a DP problem, DP[I][0/1] respectively, the first string is not moved or reversed, do DP problem must always remember the words of the seniors said that the word DP is very smart, think more and put themselves around.
at that time I did not make it to Baidu, learned the direct use of strings, but also useful reverse ( b < Span style= "COLOR: #ff0000" >[ i < Span style= "COLOR: #ff0000" >). begin (), b [ Span class= "PLN" >i ]. end ()); The range can be reversed directly.
This problem has several pit points: a DP array to open long long, two flat often with the const int MAXN = 1<<30; Do this problem want to write up the result wrong, later only found a long long type to compare generally open to 1e15 more insurance; the rest is normal DP routines.
The code is as follows:
