3307. Find the K-th Character in String Game II

Alice and Bob are playing a game. Initially, Alice has a string word = "a".

You are given a positive integer k. You are also given an integer array operations, where operations[i] represents the type of the ith operation.

Now Bob will ask Alice to perform all operations in sequence:

• If operations[i] == 0, append a copy of word to itself.
• If operations[i] == 1, generate a new string by changing each character in word to its next character in the English alphabet, and append it to the original word. For example, performing the operation on "c" generates "cd" and performing the operation on "zb" generates "zbac".

Return the value of the kth character in word after performing all the operations.

Note that the character 'z' can be changed to 'a' in the second type of operation.

3306. Count of Substrings Containing Every Vowel and K Consonants II

You are given a string word and a non-negative integer k.

Return the total number of substrings of word that contain every vowel ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', and 'u') at least once and exactly k consonants.

3305. Count of Substrings Containing Every Vowel and K Consonants I

You are given a string word and a non-negative integer k.

Return the total number of substrings of word that contain every vowel ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', and 'u') at least once and exactly k consonants.

3304. Find the K-th Character in String Game I

Alice and Bob are playing a game. Initially, Alice has a string word = "a".

You are given a positive integer k.

Now Bob will ask Alice to perform the following operation forever:

• Generate a new string by changing each character in word to its next character in the English alphabet, and append it to the original word.

For example, performing the operation on "c" generates "cd" and performing the operation on "zb" generates "zbac".

Return the value of the kth character in word, after enough operations have been done for word to have at least k characters.

Note that the character 'z' can be changed to 'a' in the operation.

3303. Find the Occurrence of First Almost Equal Substring

You are given two strings s and pattern.

A string x is called almost equal to y if you can change at most one character in x to make it identical to y.

Return the smallest starting index of a substring in s that is almost equal to pattern. If no such index exists, return -1.

A substring is a contiguous non-empty sequence of characters within a string.

3302. Find the Lexicographically Smallest Valid Sequence

You are given two strings word1 and word2.

A string x is called almost equal to y if you can change at most one character in x to make it identical to y.

A sequence of indices seq is called valid if:

• The indices are sorted in ascending order.
• Concatenating the characters at these indices in word1 in the same order results in a string that is almost equal to word2.

Return an array of size word2.length representing the lexicographically smallest valid sequence of indices. If no such sequence of indices exists, return an empty array.

Note that the answer must represent the lexicographically smallest array, not the corresponding string formed by those indices.
