0880. Decoded String at Index
https://leetcode.com/problems/decoded-string-at-index
Description
You are given an encoded string s. To decode the string to a tape, the encoded string is read one character at a time and the following steps are taken:
If the character read is a letter, that letter is written onto the tape.
If the character read is a digit
d, the entire current tape is repeatedly writtend - 1more times in total.
Given an integer k, return the kth letter (1-indexed) in the decoded string.
Example 1:
**Input:** s = "leet2code3", k = 10
**Output:** "o"
**Explanation:** The decoded string is "leetleetcodeleetleetcodeleetleetcode".
The 10th letter in the string is "o".Example 2:
**Input:** s = "ha22", k = 5
**Output:** "h"
**Explanation:** The decoded string is "hahahaha".
The 5th letter is "h".Example 3:
**Input:** s = "a2345678999999999999999", k = 1
**Output:** "a"
**Explanation:** The decoded string is "a" repeated 8301530446056247680 times.
The 1st letter is "a".Constraints:
2 <= s.length <= 100sconsists of lowercase English letters and digits2through9.sstarts with a letter.1 <= k <= 109It is guaranteed that
kis less than or equal to the length of the decoded string.The decoded string is guaranteed to have less than
263letters.
