Description
You are given a string s and an integer k.
A k-subsequence is a subsequence of s, having length k, and all its characters are unique, i.e., every character occurs once.
Let f(c) denote the number of times the character c occurs in s.
The beauty of a k-subsequence is the sum of f(c) for every character c in the k-subsequence.
For example, consider s = "abbbdd" and k = 2:
- f('a') = 1, f('b') = 3, f('d') = 2
- Some k-subsequences of s are:
- "abbbdd" -> "ab" having a beauty of f('a') + f('b') = 4
- "abbbdd" -> "ad" having a beauty of f('a') + f('d') = 3
- "abbbdd" -> "bd" having a beauty of f('b') + f('d') = 5
Return an integer denoting the number of k-subsequences whose beauty is the maximum among all k-subsequences. Since the answer may be too large, return it modulo 109 + 7.
A subsequence of a string is a new string formed from the original string by deleting some (possibly none) of the characters without disturbing the relative positions of the remaining characters.
Notes
- f(c) is the number of times a character c occurs in s, not a k-subsequence.
- Two k-subsequences are considered different if one is formed by an index that is not present in the other. So, two k-subsequences may form the same string.
