#P12124. Maximizing Prefix Sum via Single Modification
Maximizing Prefix Sum via Single Modification
Maximizing Prefix Sum via Single Modification
Given n strings \(s_1, s_2, \dots, s_n\) consisting of lowercase English letters, define the total prefix score \(V\) as:
\[ V = \sum_{i<j} P(s_i, s_j), \]
where \(P(s_i, s_j)\) is the length of the longest common prefix between \(s_i\) and \(s_j\). You are allowed to choose exactly one string and modify exactly one character in that string. Determine the maximum possible value of \(V\) after this single modification.
inputFormat
The first line contains an integer \(n\) representing the number of strings. Each of the next \(n\) lines contains a non-empty string composed of lowercase English letters.
outputFormat
Output a single integer --- the maximum total prefix score after modifying exactly one character in one of the strings.
