HackerEarth Sonya and string shifts problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 2024
In this HackerEarth Sonya and string shifts problem solution Pussycat Sonya has a string S of length N. And she’s asked Q queries of form: What is the minimal number of circular shifts in left direction of string S she needs to perform to get lexicographically smallest string, if she can do Ki such shifts at most?
