Brute Force Practice 2

You have a string (indexed from $0$ ~0~) with no more than $50$ ~50~ lowercase characters. Find the lexicographically least substring with a length of at least $K$ ~K~. A string $S$ ~S~ is said to be lexicographically smaller than a string $T$ ~T~ if $|S| < |T|$ ~|S| < |T|~ and $S$ ~S~ is a prefix of $T$ ~T~ or $S_k < T_k$ ~S_k < T_k~ and $S_i = T_i$ ~S_i = T_i~ $(0 \le i < k, 0 \le k < \min(|S|, |T|))$ . Here, $|X|$ ~|X|~ denotes the length of the string.

Input Specification

The first line will have the string.

The second line will have $K$ ~K~.

Output Specification

I did length of only $K$ ~K~ and passed, test cases are weak.

I think you might want to review the definition of lexicographical order.
