题目描述
Andi is getting married! He and his partner plan to have children. To avoid any hassle in the future, Andi wants to decide all their children’s name in advance. Specifically, he wants each child to have a name which is lexicographically larger than any of his/her older siblings. Of course, his partner also agrees with this idea. String is lexicographically larger than string if and only if is a prefix of or there exists an index where and for all . Note that a proper name can be as short as one character, but it cannot be an empty string.
Life is good for Andi, until one day he told his soon-to-be-grandmother-in-law (i.e. his partner’s grandma) about this marriage plan. After learning that Andi plans to have children with her granddaughter, she gave him names to be used. Moreover, the name can only be used for the child.
After going through a long debate with her grandma, Andi came into an agreement: The child’s name should be a subsequence of the name her grandma gave. A string is a subsequence of string if can be obtained by deleting zero or more characters from without changing the remaining characters’ order, e.g., ABC is a subsequence of DAEBCCB, but EFG is not a subsequence of FABEGC.
Even though Andi dislikes the given list of names, he still wants to impress his partner by showing that he can satisfy both her grandma’s wish and his own desire (i.e. each child’s name is lexicographically larger than any of his/her older siblings). However, Andi wonders, what is the maximum possible total length of their children names?
For example, let , and the names given by his partner’s grandma are (KARIM, PARBUDI, CHANDRA). Here are several example set of names which satisfies Andi’s desire:
- [
AR,BI,CRA] with a total length of . - [
ARI,BUDI,CHANDRA] with a total length of . - [
ARIM,ARUDI,CHANDRA] with a total length of . - [
AIM,ARBUDI,CHANDRA] with a total length of .
Among all sets of names which satisfy Andi’s desire in this example, the maximum total length is . Note that there might be cases where valid set of names cannot be obtained. In such case, you should output -1. For example, let and the names given by his partner’s grandma are (ZORO, ANDI). In this example, all subsequences of the name are lexicographically smaller than all subsequences of the name, thus, no possible valid set of names can be obtained.
