There are ‘N’ cities numbered from 1 to ‘N’ and ‘M’ roads. Each road connectss two different cities and described as a two-way road using three integers (‘U’, ‘V’, ‘W’) which represents the cost ‘W’ to connect city ‘U’ and city ‘V’ together.

Now, you are supposed to find the minimum cost so that for every pair of cities, there exists a path of connections (possibly of length 1) that connects those two cities together. The cost is the sum of the connection costs used. If the task is impossible, return -1.
