Problem # 2 : Chains of words

A word-chain is a sequence of words in which every word starts with the last character of the previous word. So CSI INTERNET TV VETO OM is a word-chain

Given an array of words find out whether a word-chain can be made using all the words.

Write a function WORDCHAIN(N A$()) where N is the number of words and A$() the array containing these words. The function returns -1 (true) if a wordchain can be made using all the words and 0 (false) otherwise

Sample Output
N=5
A$() contains "AND" "FIXING" "GIGA' "GONE' "EGG' in elements 1 2 3 4 and 5 respectively
WORDCHAIN(N A$()) returns -1

WORDCHAIN(N A$()) returns 0
