A string is beautiful if:

\n\n\n\n

You are given a beautiful string s of length n and a positive integer k.

\n\n

Return the lexicographically smallest string of length n, which is larger than s and is beautiful. If there is no such string, return an empty string.

\n\n

A string a is lexicographically larger than a string b (of the same length) if in the first position where a and b differ, a has a character strictly larger than the corresponding character in b.

\n\n\n\n

 

\n

Example 1:

\n\n
\nInput: s = "abcz", k = 26\nOutput: "abda"\nExplanation: The string "abda" is beautiful and lexicographically larger than the string "abcz".\nIt can be proven that there is no string that is lexicographically larger than the string "abcz", beautiful, and lexicographically smaller than the string "abda".\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: s = "dc", k = 4\nOutput: ""\nExplanation: It can be proven that there is no string that is lexicographically larger than the string "dc" and is beautiful.\n
