LeetCode 880 Decoded String at Index (递归，推荐)

You are given an encoded string s. To decode the string to a tape, the encoded string is read one character at a time and the following steps are taken:

• If the character read is a letter, that letter is written onto the tape.
• If the character read is a digit d, the entire current tape is repeatedly written d - 1 more times in total.

Given an integer k, return the kth letter (1-indexed) in the decoded string.

Example 1:

Input: s = "leet2code3", k = 10
Output: "o"
Explanation: The decoded string is "leetleetcodeleetleetcodeleetleetcode".
The 10th letter in the string is "o".

Example 2:

Input: s = "ha22", k = 5
Output: "h"
Explanation: The decoded string is "hahahaha".
The 5th letter is "h".

Example 3:

Input: s = "a2345678999999999999999", k = 1
Output: "a"
Explanation: The decoded string is "a" repeated 8301530446056247680 times.
The 1st letter is "a".

Constraints:

• 2 <= s.length <= 100
• s consists of lowercase English letters and digits 2 through 9.
• s starts with a letter.
• 1 <= k <= 109
• It is guaranteed that k is less than or equal to the length of the decoded string.
• The decoded string is guaranteed to have less than 263 letters.

题目大意：给一个由小写字母a-z和数字2-9组成的字符串，遇到一个字母就打出，遇到一个数字就将当前字符串重复数字减1次，求按照这种规则生成的字符串的第k位

题目分析：按照题目要求的规则累计当前字符串长度，在遇到数字时，判断答案是否在以当前数字为周期的字符串中，如果在则缩小查询范围即可
