Use longest_prefix_suffix
Thanks bro
KEEP IT UP BRO
just put a blog on codeforces and wait for responses:)
ummm for that problem since $$$n,k \leq 50$$$ you can literally brute force it (create a separate string and keep adding occurrences of a prefix of $$$t$$$ and see if $$$t$$$ eventually becomes a prefix of that string). This runs in $$$n^2$$$ which is more than enough lol
But if you're a gigachad and want to solve a harder version of this problem on CSES you can try using string hashing (my editorial, definitely not a shameless plug) or use the kmp thing in the editorial (why is that even there in the editorial for a div 3 A)
