Weighted Uniform Strings


Problem Statement :


A weighted string is a string of lowercase English letters where each letter has a weight. Character weights are 1 to 26  from  a to z  as shown below:

The weight of a string is the sum of the weights of its characters. For example:

A uniform string consists of a single character repeated zero or more times. For example, ccc and a are uniform strings, but bcb and cd are not.

Function Description

Complete the weightedUniformStrings function in the editor below.

weightedUniformStrings has the following parameter(s):
- string s: a string
- int queries[n]: an array of integers

Returns
- string[n]: an array of strings that answer the queries

Input Format

The first line contains a string s, the original string.
The second line contains an integer n, the number of queries.
Each of the next s lines contains an integer queries[i], the weight of a uniform subtring of s that may or may not exist.

Constraints


1  <=  length of s,n  <=  10^5
1  <=   queries[i]  <=  10^7
s will only contain lowercase English letters, ascii[a-z].
