Decoded String at Index

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 written d - 1 more times in total.

Given an integer k, return the k^th letter (1-indexed) in the decoded string.

Example 1
Inputs = "leet2code3", k = 10
Output"o"
The decoded string is "leetleetcodeleetleetcodeleetleetcode", and the 10th letter is "o".
Example 2
Inputs = "ha22", k = 5
Output"h"
The decoded string is "hahahaha", and the 5th letter is "h".

Constraints

  • 2 <= s.length <= 100
  • s consists of lowercase English letters and digits 2 through 9.
  • s starts with a letter.
  • 1 <= k <= 10^9
  • It is guaranteed that k is less than or equal to the length of the decoded string.
  • The decoded string is guaranteed to have less than 2^63 letters.
