Given an adjacency list representation of a directed graph with ‘n’ vertices and ‘m’ edges. Your task is to return a list consisting of Breadth-First Traversal (BFS) starting from vertex 0.


In this traversal, one can move from vertex 'u' to vertex 'v' only if there is an edge from 'u' to 'v'. The BFS traversal should include all nodes directly or indirectly connected to vertex 0.


Note:
The traversal should proceed from left to right according to the input adjacency list.


Example:
Adjacency list: { {1,2,3},{4}, {5}, {},{},{}}

The interpretation of this adjacency list is as follows:
Vertex 0 has directed edges towards vertices 1, 2, and 3.
Vertex 1 has a directed edge towards vertex 4.
Vertex 2 has a directed edge towards vertex 5.
Vertices 3, 4, and 5 have no outgoing edges.

We can also see this in the diagram below.

BFS traversal: 0 1 2 3 4 5

You have been given a sorted (lexical order) dictionary of an alien language.


Write a function that returns the order of characters as a string in the alien language. This dictionary will be given to you as an array of strings called 'dictionary', of size 'N'.


Example :
If the dictionary consists of the following words:-
["caa", "aaa", "aab"], and 'K' is 3.

Then, the order of the alphabet is -
['c', 'a', 'b']
Note:
If the language consists of four letters, the four letters should be the starting four letters of the English language. 

However, their order might differ in the alien language.
