Merge User Accounts

You are a social media manager, and there are a lot of users on your platform with various emails attached to their accounts. For each user, there is a name and several emails associated with that user.

You noticed that a lot of users have multiple accounts registered with the same email, and you decided to merge some accounts according to the following rules:

  • If two accounts have the same name and share at least one common email, they must belong to the same user, and thus can be safely merged. This merged account can be merged with other accounts via the same method, so if two accounts with the same name doesn't have a common email, but they each have a common email with a third account with the same name, they can be merged together.
  • Two different accounts can share the same name, as long as they cannot be linked back to the same person via email tracking.
  • Two different accounts with different names can never be merged, even if they may share a common email.

After merging the accounts such that you cannot merge any more, output the final remaining accounts in a sorted order. That is, the emails of each account is sorted lexicographically, and the accounts are sorted lexicographically by name, then by the first email (if applicable).

Input

  • accounts: A matrix of strings (can be uneven). Each row represent an account, with the first entry being the name and the rest being the email associated with the account.

Output

A matrix of strings representing the final resulting accounts, sorted.

Examples

Example 1:

Input:

accounts = [
  ["John", "[email protected]", "[email protected]"],
  ["John", "[email protected]", "[email protected]"],
  ["Mary", "[email protected]"],
  ["John", "[email protected]"]
]

Output: [ ["John", "[email protected]", "[email protected]","[email protected]"], ["John", "[email protected]"], ["Mary", "[email protected]"], ]

Explanation:

The first two accounts belong to the same user because they share an email. Notice that there are two John accounts in the end, because they do not share emails with each other, even after merging.

Constraints

  • 1 <= len(accounts) <= 1000
  • 1 <= len(accounts[i]) <= 10
  • 1 <= len(accounts[i][j]) <= 30
  • Names consist of only English letters
  • All emails are valid. Normally emails are case insensitive, but to simplify things, assume all letters that appear in the emails are lowercase.
