Given a string S consisting of lower case English alphabets and an integer K.
You need to form a new string P that follows the following conditions:
- Length of P should be equal to K + length of string S.
- P should only be formed by using the prefixes of string S.
- P should be lexicographically smallest.
Task
Determine the string P that satisfies all the given conditions.
Example
Assumptions
- N = 3
- K = 4
- S = bca
Approach
- Prefixes of S are "b", "bc", "bca".
- String P will be "bbbbbbb" of length 7 (N + K i.e. 3 + 4).
Function Description
Complete the solve function provided in the editor. This function takes the following 3 parameters and returns the valid string:
- N: Represents the size of string S.
- K: Represents the given integer.
- S: Represents the given string.
Input Format
Note: This is the input format you must use to provide custom input (available above the Compile and Test button).
- The first line contains a single integer T denoting the number of test cases.
- For each test case:
- The first line contains a single integer N denoting the size of string S.
- The second line contains a single integer K denoting the number of new characters added in string S.
- The third line contains the string S.
Output Format
For each test case in a separate line, output a string P that satisfies all the given conditions.
Constraints
\(1 \le T \le 10 \\ 2 \le N \le 2 * 10^5 \\ 2 \le K \le 2 * 10^5\)
