2073. Time Needed to Buy Tickets

There are n people in a line queuing to buy tickets, where the 0th person is at the front of the line and the (n - 1)th person is at the back of the line.

You are given a 0-indexed integer array tickets of length n where the number of tickets that the ith person would like to buy is tickets[i].

Each person takes exactly 1 second to buy a ticket. A person can only buy 1 ticket at a time and has to go back to the end of the line (which happens instantaneously) in order to buy more tickets. If a person does not have any tickets left to buy, the person will leave the line.

Return the time taken for the person at positionk(0-indexed) to finish buying tickets.

Example 1:

Input: tickets = [2,3,2], k = 2 Output: 6 Explanation: - In the first pass, everyone in the line buys a ticket and the line becomes [1, 2, 1]. - In the second pass, everyone in the line buys a ticket and the line becomes [0, 1, 0]. The person at position 2 has successfully bought 2 tickets and it took 3 + 3 = 6 seconds. 

Example 2:

Input: tickets = [5,1,1,1], k = 0 Output: 8 Explanation: - In the first pass, everyone in the line buys a ticket and the line becomes [4, 0, 0, 0]. - In the next 4 passes, only the person in position 0 is buying tickets. The person at position 0 has successfully bought 5 tickets and it took 4 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 8 seconds. 

Constraints:

  • n == tickets.length
  • 1 <= n <= 100
  • 1 <= tickets[i] <= 100
  • 0 <= k < n
