Repeated String


Problem Statement :


There is a string, s, of lowercase English letters that is repeated infinitely many times. Given an integer, n, find and print the number of letter a's in the first n letters of the infinite string.

Example

s = 'abcac'
n = 10


The substring we consider is abcacabcac, the first 10 characters of the infinite string. There are  4 occurrences of a in the substring.



Function Description

Complete the repeatedString function in the editor below.

repeatedString has the following parameter(s):

s: a string to repeat
n: the number of characters to consider
Returns

int: the frequency of a in the substring
Input Format

The first line contains a single string, s.
The second line contains an integer, n.


Constraints

1  <=   | s |  <=  100
1  <=    n     <=   10^12

For 25%  of the test cases, n <= 10^6 .

Tree: Huffman Decoding

Huffman coding assigns variable length codewords to fixed length input characters based on their frequencies. More frequent characters are assigned shorter codewords and less frequent characters are assigned longer codewords. All edges along the path to a character contain a code digit. If they are on the left side of the tree, they will be a 0 (zero). If on the right, they'll be a 1 (one). Only t
