This story takes place a long time ago, when the world was new and the IOI had not yet been dreamt. Serpent lives in a land which has billabongs (water holes), numbered
. There are
bidirectional trails, joining pairs of billabongs, which Serpent can travel along. Each pair of billabongs is connected (directly or indirectly) by at most one sequence of trails, though some pairs of billabongs may not be connected at all (thus,
). Each trail takes a certain number of days for Serpent to travel along it: this number may be different for each trail.
Serpent's friend, Kangaroo, wishes to make new trails, so that it is possible for Serpent to travel between any pair of billabongs. Kangaroo can create trails between any pair of billabongs, and every trail that Kangaroo creates will take
days for Serpent to travel along it.
Additionally, Kangaroo wants to make Serpent's travels as fast as possible. Kangaroo will build the new trails so that the longest travel time between any two billabongs is as small as possible. Help Kangaroo and Serpent determine the longest travel time between any two billabongs, after Kangaroo has built the new trails in this way.

In the picture above there are billabongs and
trails. Suppose that
, so that any new trail will require Serpent 2 days to travel. Then Kangaroo could build three new trails:
- between billabongs
and
;
- between billabongs
and
;
- between billabongs
and
.

The picture above shows the final set of trails. The longest travel time is days, between billabongs
and
. This is the smallest result possible—no matter how Kangaroo builds the trails, there will be some pair of billabongs that requires Serpent to travel for
days or more.
Implementation
You should submit a file implementing the function travelTime()
, as follows:
Grader Function: travelTime()
C/C++
int travelTime(int N, int M, int L, int A[], int B[], int T[]);
Pascal
function travelTime(N, M, L : LongInt; var A, B, T : array of LongInt) : LongInt;
Description
This function should calculate the greatest travel time (measured in days) between any pair of billabongs, assuming that Kangaroo has added
trails in such a way that all billabongs are connected and this greatest travel time is as small as possible.
Parameters
N
: The number of billabongs.M
: The number of trails that already exist.L
: The time in days that it takes Serpent to travel along a new trail.A
,B
andT
: Arrays of lengththat specify the endpoints and travel time of each pre-existing trail, so that the
trail joins billabongs
and
, and takes
days to travel in either direction.
- Returns: The greatest travel time between any pair of billabongs, as described above.
