2017 Winter Waterloo Local ACM Contest, Problem B

Vera is learning about the longest common subsequence problem.

A string is a (possibly empty) sequence of lowercase letters. A subsequence of a string S is a string obtained by deleting some letters of S (possibly none or all). For example vra, a,  (empty string), and vera are all subsequences of vera. The longest common subsequence (LCS) of two strings A and B is a string that is a subsequence of both A and B that has the maximum length among all strings that are a subsequence of both A and B. There could be multiple LCS for two given strings. For example, a LCS of vera and eats is ea.

For homework, she was given two strings A, B, both of length N and she had to determine the length of the LCS of A and B. She determined the answer to be K but lost B. Given A and K, help her find a possible value of B. It is possible that Vera may have made a mistake and no such B exists, in that case output WRONGANSWER.

Constraints

  • 1 \le N \le 2000
  • 0 \le K \le 2000
  • N, K are integers
  • A consists of N lowercase letters

Input Specification

The input will be in the format:

N K

A

Output Specification

Output one line consisting of the string B of N lowercase letters, or WRONGANSWER if no B is valid. If there are multiple correct B output any of them.

    Since the original data were weak, an additional test case was added, and all submissions were rejudged.
