Description
Given an undirected weighted graph G, you should find one of spanning trees specified as follows.
The graph G is an ordered pair (V, E), where V is a set of vertices {v1, v2, …, vn} and E is a set of undirected edges {e1, e2, …, em}. Each edge e ∈ E has its weight w(e).
A spanning tree T is a tree (a connected subgraph without cycles) which connects all the n vertices with n ? 1 edges. The slimness of a spanning tree T is defined as the difference between the largest weight and the smallest weight among the n ? 1 edges of T.
For example, a graph G in Figure 5(a) has four vertices {v1, v2, v3, v4} and five undirected edges {e1, e2, e3, e4, e5}. The weights of the edges are w(e1) = 3, w(e2) = 5, w(e3) = 6, w(e4) = 6, w(e5) = 7 as shown in Figure 5(b).
There are several spanning trees for G. Four of them are depicted in Figure 6(a)~(d). The spanning tree Ta in Figure 6(a) has three edges whose weights are 3, 6 and 7. The largest weight is 7 and the smallest weight is 3 so that the slimness of the tree Ta is 4. The slimnesses of spanning trees Tb, Tc and Td shown in Figure 6(b), (c) and (d) are 3, 2 and 1, respectively. You can easily see the slimness of any other spanning tree is greater than or equal to 1, thus the spanning tree Td in Figure 6(d) is one of the slimmest spanning trees whose slimness is 1.
Your job is to write a program that computes the smallest slimness.
Input
The input consists of multiple datasets, followed by a line containing two zeros separated by a space. Each dataset has the following format.
| n | m | |
| a1 | b1 | w1 |
| ? | ||
| am | bm | wm |
Every input item in a dataset is a non-negative integer. Items in a line are separated by a space. n is the number of the vertices and m the number of the edges. You can assume 2 ≤ n ≤ 100 and 0 ≤ m ≤ n(n ? 1)/2. ak andbk (k = 1, …, m) are positive integers less than or equal to n, which represent the two vertices vak and vbk connected by the kth edge ek. wk is a positive integer less than or equal to 10000, which indicates the weight ofek. You can assume that the graph G = (V, E) is simple, that is, there are no self-loops (that connect the same vertex) nor parallel edges (that are two or more edges whose both ends are the same two vertices).
Output
For each dataset, if the graph has spanning trees, the smallest slimness among them should be printed. Otherwise, ?1 should be printed. An output should not contain extra characters.

题意及分析：
在一个无向图里有多棵生成树，要求一棵特殊的生成树。这棵树最长的边减去最短的边得到的值最小。就是最苗条的一棵生成树。
因为最苗条，所以最长的边和最短的边差值是最小的。那么，我们将边的从小到大权重排序，编号就是1~m了。然后从编号为1的边开始枚举。以这条边作为树的第一条边，往后找，直至找到一棵生成树。 接着以2号边为生成树的第一条边，接着找生成树。直至枚举了所有情况。比较每次获得的生成树的slim值，取最小的那个。
