    1415 - The k-th Lexicographical String of All Happy Strings of Length n.

    Medium

    A happy string is a string that:

    • consists only of letters of the set ['a', 'b', 'c'].

    • s[i] != s[i + 1] for all values of i from 1 to s.length - 1 (string is 1-indexed).

    For example, strings "abc", "ac", "b" and "abcbabcbcb" are all happy strings and strings "aa", "baa" and "ababbc" are not happy strings.

    Given two integers n and k, consider a list of all happy strings of length n sorted in lexicographical order.

    Return the kth string of this list or return an empty string if there are less than k happy strings of length n.

    Example 1:

    Input: n = 1, k = 3

    Output: "c"

    Explanation: The list "a", "b", "c" contains all happy strings of length 1. The third string is "c".

    Example 2:

    Input: n = 1, k = 4

    Output: ""

    Explanation: There are only 3 happy strings of length 1.

    Example 3:

    Input: n = 3, k = 9

    Output: "cab"

    Explanation: There are 12 different happy string of length 3 "aba", "abc", "aca", "acb", "bab", "bac", "bca", "bcb", "cab", "cac", "cba", "cbc". You will find the 9<sup>th</sup> string = "cab"
