Write a program to get all possibilities (in sorted order) for stretching a word to the given size. If the list of required indices is passed, then only those combinations present at those indices should be returned. If the required indices are null, then all the combinations have to be returned.
Examples:
Input: str = "1234" n = 6 indices = null Output: ["111234", "112234", "112334", "112344", "122234", "122334", "122344", "123334", "123344", "123444"] The above string “1234”, with stretch length can be stretched for different possibilities like "111234", "112334", "112344" etc. The output represents a list of different stretches in a sorted manner. Since the indices are given as null we print the entire list of possibilities Input: str = "1234" n = 6 indices = 1, 5, 9 Output: ["112234", "122334", "123444"] Here only stretched strings of given indices are printed. Input: str = "merit" n = 6 indices = null Output: ["meerit", "meriit", "meritt", "merrit", "mmerit"] Input: str = "java" n = 4 indices = null Output: ["java"] Input : str = "neveropen" n = 10 indices = null Output: [] since the length of the string is greater than the length to be stretched we return an empty index
Code : Python code for get all possibilities for stretching a word to the given size.
Python3

Output:
['111234', '112234', '112334', '112344', '122234', '122334', '122344', '123334', '123344', '123444']
