{ "data": { "question": { "questionId": "1782", "questionFrontendId": "1663", "boundTopicId": null, "title": "Smallest String With A Given Numeric Value", "titleSlug": "smallest-string-with-a-given-numeric-value", "content": "
The numeric value of a lowercase character is defined as its position (1-indexed) in the alphabet, so the numeric value of a is 1, the numeric value of b is 2, the numeric value of c is 3, and so on.
The numeric value of a string consisting of lowercase characters is defined as the sum of its characters' numeric values. For example, the numeric value of the string "abe" is equal to 1 + 2 + 5 = 8.
You are given two integers n and k. Return the lexicographically smallest string with length equal to n and numeric value equal to k.
Note that a string x is lexicographically smaller than string y if x comes before y in dictionary order, that is, either x is a prefix of y, or if i is the first position such that x[i] != y[i], then x[i] comes before y[i] in alphabetic order.

Example 1:
\n\n\nInput: n = 3, k = 27\nOutput: "aay"\nExplanation: The numeric value of the string is 1 + 1 + 25 = 27, and it is the smallest string with such a value and length equal to 3.\n\n\n
Example 2:
\n\n\nInput: n = 5, k = 73\nOutput: "aaszz"\n\n\n

Constraints:
