    3271 - Hash Divided String.

    Medium

    You are given a string s of length n and an integer k, where n is a multiple of k. Your task is to hash the string s into a new string called result, which has a length of n / k.

    First, divide s into n / k substrings , each with a length of k. Then, initialize result as an empty string.

    For each substring in order from the beginning:

    • The hash value of a character is the index of that character in the English alphabet (e.g., 'a' → 0, 'b' → 1, ..., 'z' → 25).

    • Calculate the sum of all the hash values of the characters in the substring.

    • Find the remainder of this sum when divided by 26, which is called hashedChar.

    • Identify the character in the English lowercase alphabet that corresponds to hashedChar.

    • Append that character to the end of result.

    Return result.

    Example 1:

    Input: s = "abcd", k = 2

    Output: "bf"

    Explanation:

    First substring: "ab", 0 + 1 = 1, 1 % 26 = 1, result[0] = 'b'.

    Second substring: "cd", 2 + 3 = 5, 5 % 26 = 5, result[1] = 'f'.

    Example 2:

    Input: s = "mxz", k = 3

    Output: "i"

    Explanation:

    The only substring: "mxz", 12 + 23 + 25 = 60, 60 % 26 = 8, result[0] = 'i'.

    Constraints:

    • 1 <= k <= 100

    • k <= s.length <= 1000

    • s.length is divisible by k.

    • s consists only of lowercase English letters.
