Merge K Sorted Linkedlist

easy

You are given an array of k linked-lists, each linked-list is sorted in increasing order. Merge all the linkedlists into one sorted linkedlist and return it.

Constraints

0 <= k <= 10^5 0 <= size of linkedlist <= 1000

Format

Input

3 sorted linkedlist : { 0->0->0->null, 0->0->1->1->1->2->2->4->null, 0->0->0->0->5->5->6->null }

Output

after merging them : 0->0->0->0->0->0->0->0->0->1->1->1->2->2->4->5->5->6->null

Example

Sample Input

3 3 0 0 0 8 0 0 1 1 1 2 2 4 7 0 0 0 0 5 5 6

Sample Output

0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 2 2 4 5 5 6
