Repeated String

There is a string, s, of lowercase English letters that is repeated infinitely many times. Given an integer, n, find and print the number of letter a's in the first letters of the infinite string.

Example

s = 'abcac'
n = 10

The substring we consider is abcacabcac, the first 10 characters of the infinite string. There are 4 occurrences of a in the substring.

Function Description

Complete the repeatedString function in the editor below.

repeatedString has the following parameter(s):

  • s: a string to repeat
  • n: the number of characters to consider

Returns

  • int: the frequency of a in the substring

Input Format

The first line contains a single string, s.

The second line contains an integer, n.

Constraints

  • 1 ≤ |s| ≤ 100
  • 1 ≤ n ≤ 10¹²
  • For 25% of the test cases, n ≤ 10⁶.

Sample Input

Sample Input 0

aba
10

Sample Output 0

7

Explanation 0

The first n = 10 letters of the infinite string are abaabaabaa. Because there are 7 a's, we return 7.

Sample Input 1

a
1000000000000

Sample Output 1

1000000000000

Explanation 1

Because all of the first n = 1000000000000 letters of the infinite string are a, we return 1000000000000.
