If the target T is impossible to reach, return -1.\r\n\r\nExample 1:\r\ninput: C = [3, 5], T = 4.\r\noutput: 6\r\nexplanation: (0,0) -\u003e (0,5) -\u003e (3,2) -\u003e (0,2) -\u003e (2,0) -\u003e (2,5) -\u003e (3,4)\r\n\r\nExample 2:\r\ninput: C = [2,5,10], T = 7\r\noutput: 4\r\nexplanation: (0,0,0) -\u003e (0,0,10) -\u003e (0,5,5) -\u003e (2,5,5) -\u003e (0,5,7)\r\n\r\nExample 3:\r\ninput: C = [2,4,6], T = 3\r\noutput: -1\r\nexplanation: Since all capacities are even, any sum will be even.\r\n\r\n","description_html":"\u003cdiv style = \"text-align: start; line-height: 20.44px; min-height: 0px; white-space: normal; color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, monospace; font-style: normal; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; white-space: normal; \"\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"block-size: 787px; display: block; min-width: 0px; padding-block-start: 0px; padding-inline-start: 2px; padding-left: 2px; padding-top: 0px; perspective-origin: 468.5px 393.5px; transform-origin: 468.5px 393.5px; vertical-align: baseline; \"\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"block-size: 20px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 20px; margin-block-end: 5px; margin-block-start: 3px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-inline-end: 10px; margin-inline-start: 4px; margin-left: 4px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 3px; padding-inline-start: 0px; padding-left: 0px; perspective-origin: 444.5px 10px; text-align: left; transform-origin: 444.5px 10px; white-space-collapse: preserve; margin-left: 4px; margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 5px; \"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"block-size: auto; display: inline; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-inline-end: 0px; margin-inline-start: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; perspective-origin: 0px 0px; transform-origin: 0px 0px; unicode-bidi: normal; \"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"\"\u003eDescription:\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"block-size: 42px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin-block-end: 9px; margin-block-start: 2px; margin-bottom: 9px; margin-inline-end: 10px; margin-inline-start: 4px; margin-left: 4px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 2px; padding-inline-start: 0px; padding-left: 0px; perspective-origin: 444.5px 21px; text-align: left; transform-origin: 444.5px 21px; white-space-collapse: preserve; margin-left: 4px; margin-top: 2px; margin-bottom: 9px; \"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"block-size: auto; display: inline; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-inline-end: 0px; margin-inline-start: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; perspective-origin: 0px 0px; transform-origin: 0px 0px; unicode-bidi: normal; \"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"\"\u003eYou are given N water jugs with maximum capacities specified in a vector \u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"block-size: auto; display: inline; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-inline-end: 0px; margin-inline-start: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; perspective-origin: 0px 0px; transform-origin: 0px 0px; unicode-bidi: normal; \"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic; font-weight: 700; \"\u003eC\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"block-size: auto; display: inline; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-inline-end: 0px; margin-inline-start: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; perspective-origin: 0px 0px; transform-origin: 0px 0px; unicode-bidi: normal; \"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"\"\u003e \u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"block-size: auto; display: inline; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-inline-end: 0px; margin-inline-start: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; perspective-origin: 0px 0px; transform-origin: 0px 0px; unicode-bidi: normal; \"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic; \"\u003e= \u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"block-size: auto; display: inline; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-inline-end: 0px; margin-inline-start: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; perspective-origin: 0px 0px; transform-origin: 0px 0px; unicode-bidi: normal; \"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 700; \"\u003e[ c1, c2, c3,.., c_n]\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"block-size: auto; display: inline; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-inline-end: 0px; margin-inline-start: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; perspective-origin: 0px 0px; transform-origin: 0px 0px; unicode-bidi: normal; \"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"\"\u003e.

If the target T is impossible to reach, return -1.\r\n\r\nExample 1:\r\ninput: C = [3, 5], T = 4.\r\noutput: 6\r\nexplanation: (0,0) -\u003e (0,5) -\u003e (3,2) -\u003e (0,2) -\u003e (2,0) -\u003e (2,5) -\u003e (3,4)\r\n\r\nExample 2:\r\ninput: C = [2,5,10], T = 7\r\noutput: 4\r\nexplanation: (0,0,0) -\u003e (0,0,10) -\u003e (0,5,5) -\u003e (2,5,5) -\u003e (0,5,7)\r\n\r\nExample 3:\r\ninput: C = [2,4,6], T = 3\r\noutput: -1\r\nexplanation: Since all capacities are even, any sum will be even.\r\n\r\n","description_html":"\u003cdiv style = \"text-align: start; line-height: 20.44px; min-height: 0px; white-space: normal; color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, monospace; font-style: normal; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; white-space: normal; \"\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"block-size: 787px; display: block; min-width: 0px; padding-block-start: 0px; padding-inline-start: 2px; padding-left: 2px; padding-top: 0px; perspective-origin: 468.5px 393.5px; transform-origin: 468.5px 393.5px; vertical-align: baseline; \"\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"block-size: 20px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 20px; margin-block-end: 5px; margin-block-start: 3px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-inline-end: 10px; margin-inline-start: 4px; margin-left: 4px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 3px; padding-inline-start: 0px; padding-left: 0px; perspective-origin: 444.5px 10px; text-align: left; transform-origin: 444.5px 10px; white-space-collapse: preserve; margin-left: 4px; margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 5px; \"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"block-size: auto; display: inline; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-inline-end: 0px; margin-inline-start: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; perspective-origin: 0px 0px; transform-origin: 0px 0px; unicode-bidi: normal; \"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"\"\u003eDescription:\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"block-size: 42px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin-block-end: 9px; margin-block-start: 2px; margin-bottom: 9px; margin-inline-end: 10px; margin-inline-start: 4px; margin-left: 4px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 2px; padding-inline-start: 0px; padding-left: 0px; perspective-origin: 444.5px 21px; text-align: left; transform-origin: 444.5px 21px; white-space-collapse: preserve; margin-left: 4px; margin-top: 2px; margin-bottom: 9px; \"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"block-size: auto; display: inline; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-inline-end: 0px; margin-inline-start: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; perspective-origin: 0px 0px; transform-origin: 0px 0px; unicode-bidi: normal; \"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"\"\u003eYou are given N water jugs with maximum capacities specified in a vector \u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"block-size: auto; display: inline; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-inline-end: 0px; margin-inline-start: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; perspective-origin: 0px 0px; transform-origin: 0px 0px; unicode-bidi: normal; \"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic; font-weight: 700; \"\u003eC\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"block-size: auto; display: inline; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-inline-end: 0px; margin-inline-start: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; perspective-origin: 0px 0px; transform-origin: 0px 0px; unicode-bidi: normal; \"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"\"\u003e \u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"block-size: auto; display: inline; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-inline-end: 0px; margin-inline-start: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; perspective-origin: 0px 0px; transform-origin: 0px 0px; unicode-bidi: normal; \"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic; \"\u003e= \u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"block-size: auto; display: inline; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-inline-end: 0px; margin-inline-start: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; perspective-origin: 0px 0px; transform-origin: 0px 0px; unicode-bidi: normal; \"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 700; \"\u003e[ c1, c2, c3,.., c_n]\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"block-size: auto; display: inline; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-inline-end: 0px; margin-inline-start: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; perspective-origin: 0px 0px; transform-origin: 0px 0px; unicode-bidi: normal; \"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"\"\u003e.
