Consider a string of even length and integer K. The string is called  if and only if the first half of the string differs from the second half in no more than K positions.

For example, string abac is 1-even, 2-even, but not 0-even.

You are given integer K and the cyclic string with the odd length. You are to find its K-even substring of the maximal length. Note, input string is cyclic, so you can use any of its cyclic shifts.

Input
The first line of the input file contains integer K (0 ≤ K ≤ 2000). The second line contains string of small Latin letters. The length of the string is odd and it is less than 2000.

Output
Print single line containing K-even substring of the maximal length. If there are several such substrings, print the smallest in lexicographical order. If such substring does not exist, print one blank line.

1) Abridged problem statement

- A string T of even length L is K-even if the Hamming distance between its first half and its second half is at most K.
- Given K (0 ≤ K ≤ 2000) and an odd-length cyclic string s (lowercase letters, |s| < 2000), find a K-even substring of s with the maximum possible even length (≤ |s|). Because s is cyclic, you may take any cyclic shift. Among all such substrings of maximal length, output the lexicographically smallest. If none exists, print a blank line.


2) Key observations

- Cyclic trick: Every cyclic substring of s of length ≤ |s| appears as a contiguous substring of s+s. Let m = |s| and n = 2m.
- A candidate substring is determined by its start x and even length L = 2d. The two halves start at positions x and y = x + d in s+s. We need Hamming(s[x..x+d−1], s[y..y+d−1]) ≤ K.
- We only need L ≤ m (since we cannot exceed the original cycle). Because m is odd, the maximum even L is m − 1.
- Among all valid substrings of the maximum L, choose the lexicographically smallest.
- Efficient mismatch counting: process all mismatch pairs (i, j) (i < j) in s+s and add their contribution to all aligned half-start pairs (x, y) on the diagonal y − x = j − i using a diagonal difference array; then take diagonal prefix sums to obtain mismatch counts cnt[x][y].


3) Full solution approach

- Double the string: s2 = s + s (length n = 2m). Any cyclic substring of length ≤ m is a contiguous substring of s2.
- Represent a candidate by the pair (x, y) where y = x + d (the two half-starts). We want cnt[x][y] = Hamming distance between the halves to be ≤ K.
- Build cnt with a diagonal difference array in O(n^2):
  - For every mismatch (i, j) with s2[i] != s2[j] and i < j, let d = j − i. This mismatch contributes +1 to every pair (x, y) on the diagonal y − x = d such that positions i and j align in the two halves: i − x = j − y, and i is in the first half (i < y).
  - The valid (x, y) along this diagonal form a contiguous segment from (min_x, min_y) up to (i, j), where delta = min(d − 1, i), min_x = i − delta, min_y = j − delta. Add +1 at (min_x, min_y) and −1 at (i+1, j+1) (if in bounds).
  - Take diagonal prefix sums (i, j) -> (i+1, j+1) to recover cnt[x][y].
- Scan even lengths L from the largest (m if m even, else m−1) down to 2:
  - Check all starts x with x + L ≤ n; y = x + L/2.
  - If cnt[x][y] ≤ K it is a valid candidate; keep the lexicographically smallest for this L.
  - As soon as some L has a valid candidate, output the lexicographically smallest and stop (this gives the maximum length).

Complexity:
- O(n^2) time and O(n^2) memory, n = 2m < 4000. The counts never exceed m, so a 16-bit type would suffice, but a plain int array is fine.


4) C++ implementation

```cpp
#include <bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

template<typename T1, typename T2>
ostream& operator<<(ostream& out, const pair<T1, T2>& x) {
    return out << x.first << ' ' << x.second;
}

template<typename T1, typename T2>
istream& operator>>(istream& in, pair<T1, T2>& x) {
    return in >> x.first >> x.second;
}

template<typename T>
istream& operator>>(istream& in, vector<T>& a) {
    for(auto& x: a) {
        in >> x;
    }
    return in;
};

template<typename T>
ostream& operator<<(ostream& out, const vector<T>& a) {
    for(auto x: a) {
        out << x << ' ';
    }
    return out;
};

int n, k;
string s;

void read() {
    cin >> k >> s;
    s = s + s;
    n = s.size();
}

void solve() {
    // We can represent a substring by it's two endpoints L,R, but in this
    // problem it's more convenient to represent it with X=L, Y=(L+R+1)/2, or
    // the positions where the two halves start. We will try to keep an array
    // cnt[X][Y], being the number of positions where X and Y don't match. If we
    // have this it will be trivial to get the final answer.
    //
    // The key idea is that will iterate through all possible (i, j) that
    // correspond to distinct letters, and add +1 to the area of cnt[.][.] that
    // get's affected by this pair. This area is essentially a part of a primary
    // diagonal - a pair (i, j) will affect (x, y) when i-x = j-y, and y > i. We
    // will do prefix sums on that diagonal to get quadratic complexity.

    vector<vector<int>> cnt(n, vector<int>(n, 0));
    for(int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        for(int j = i + 1; j < n; j++) {
            if(s[i] != s[j]) {
                int d = j - i;
                int delta = min(d - 1, i);
                int min_x = i - delta;
                int min_y = j - delta;

                cnt[min_x][min_y]++;

                if(i + 1 < n && j + 1 < n) {
                    cnt[i + 1][j + 1]--;
                }
            }
        }
    }

    for(int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
        for(int j = i + 1; j < n; j++) {
            cnt[i][j] += cnt[i - 1][j - 1];
        }
    }

    string ans = "";
    for(int len = n / 2; len >= 1; len--) {
        if(len % 2 != 0) {

        for(int x = 0; x + len <= n; x++) {
            int y = x + len / 2;

            if(cnt[x][y] > k) {
                continue;
            }

            if(!ans.empty() && ans.size() > (size_t)len) {
                continue;
            }

            string cand = s.substr(x, len);
            if(ans.empty() || cand < ans) {
                ans = cand;
            }
        }
    }

    cout << ans << endl;

int main() {
    ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false);

5) Python implementation with detailed comments

```python
import sys

def main():
    data = sys.stdin.read().strip().splitlines()
    if not data:
        print()
        return

    k = int(data[0].strip())
    s = data[1].strip()
    m = len(s)
    if m < 2:  # no even-length substring possible
        print()
        return

    s2 = s + s
    n = len(s2)

    # Largest even length not exceeding m
    max_even_L = m if (m % 2 == 0) else (m - 1)

    best = None
    # Try lengths from largest even to smallest even
    for L in range(max_even_L, 1 - 1, -2):
        d = L // 2

        # eq[i] = 1 if s2[i] != s2[i + d] else 0, for i in [0 .. n - d - 1]
        eq_len = n - d

        # Build prefix sums of eq on the fly (avoid storing eq separately)
        pref = [0] * (eq_len + 1)
        s2_loc = s2  # local binding for speed
        for i in range(eq_len):
            pref[i + 1] = pref[i] + (1 if s2_loc[i] != s2_loc[i + d] else 0)

        # For each start x, mismatches between halves is pref[x + d] - pref[x]
        start_max = n - L
        local_best = None
        for x in range(start_max + 1):
            mism = pref[x + d] - pref[x]
            if mism <= k:
                cand = s2_loc[x : x + L]
                if (local_best is None) or (cand < local_best):
                    local_best = cand

        if local_best is not None:
            best = local_best
            break  # Found the maximum possible length; no need to try smaller L

    print(best if best is not None else "")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
```

Explanation of the Python approach:
- For a fixed half-length d (L = 2d), the mismatch count at start x is exactly the sum of the length-d window over the indicator sequence eq[i] = [s2[i] != s2[i + d]]. Prefix sums let us query each window in O(1).
- Trying lengths from large to small guarantees the first successful length is maximal; among its candidates we pick the smallest lexical substring.
