1286\. Iterator for Combination
Medium
Design the `CombinationIterator` class:
*   `CombinationIterator(string characters, int combinationLength)` Initializes the object with a string `characters` of **sorted distinct** lowercase English letters and a number `combinationLength` as arguments.
*   `next()` Returns the next combination of length `combinationLength` in **lexicographical order**.
*   `hasNext()` Returns `true` if and only if there exists a next combination.
**Example 1:**
**Input** ["CombinationIterator", "next", "hasNext", "next", "hasNext", "next", "hasNext"] [["abc", 2], [], [], [], [], [], []]
**Output:** [null, "ab", true, "ac", true, "bc", false]
**Explanation:** CombinationIterator itr = new CombinationIterator("abc", 2); itr.next(); // return "ab" itr.hasNext(); // return True itr.next(); // return "ac" itr.hasNext(); // return True itr.next(); // return "bc" itr.hasNext(); // return False
**Constraints:**
*   `1 <= combinationLength <= characters.length <= 15`
*   All the characters of `characters` are **unique**.
*   At most 104 calls will be made to `next` and `hasNext`.
*   It is guaranteed that all calls of the function `next` are valid.    © 2015 - 2025 Weber Informatics LLC | Privacy Policy
