394\. Decode String

Medium

Given an encoded string, return its decoded string.

The encoding rule is: `k[encoded_string]`, where the `encoded_string` inside the square brackets is being repeated exactly `k` times. Note that `k` is guaranteed to be a positive integer.

You may assume that the input string is always valid; No extra white spaces, square brackets are well-formed, etc.

Furthermore, you may assume that the original data does not contain any digits and that digits are only for those repeat numbers, `k`. For example, there won't be input like `3a` or `2[4]`.

**Example 1:**

**Input:** s = "3[a]2[bc]"

**Output:** "aaabcbc" 

**Example 2:**

**Input:** s = "3[a2[c]]"

**Output:** "accaccacc" 

**Example 3:**

**Input:** s = "2[abc]3[cd]ef"

**Output:** "abcabccdcdcdef" 

**Example 4:**

**Input:** s = "abc3[cd]xyz"

**Output:** "abccdcdcdxyz" 

**Constraints:**

*   `1 <= s.length <= 30`
*   `s` consists of lowercase English letters, digits, and square brackets `'[]'`.
*   `s` is guaranteed to be **a valid** input.
*   All the integers in `s` are in the range `[1, 300]`.
