Hello,

This is an interesting data structure problem.

It can't be solved with regular insertion and print.

Who do you think it can be solved ??

hello Just-yousef

This problem is already asked in lunch time contest on codechef. you can check this link for more details here. You can check the editorial for the detail explanation of the solution to this problem.

Here are the steps to solve this problem. 1. First find the final string after all insertion. ( Think on this ) 2. Now process queries in the reverse order and a simple rank based segment tree will help you to answer each query.

I have written just to guide you. If u find anything that is not understandable from the available editorial just reply on this thread. I will be more happy to help you.
