    1894 - Find the Student that Will Replace the Chalk\.

    Medium

    There are n students in a class numbered from 0 to n - 1. The teacher will give each student a problem starting with the student number 0, then the student number 1, and so on until the teacher reaches the student number n - 1. After that, the teacher will restart the process, starting with the student number 0 again.

    You are given a 0-indexed integer array chalk and an integer k. There are initially k pieces of chalk. When the student number i is given a problem to solve, they will use chalk[i] pieces of chalk to solve that problem. However, if the current number of chalk pieces is strictly less than chalk[i], then the student number i will be asked to replace the chalk.

    Return the index of the student that will replace the chalk.

    Example 1:

    Input: chalk = 5,1,5, k = 22

    Output: 0

    Explanation: The students go in turns as follows:

    • Student number 0 uses 5 chalk, so k = 17.

    • Student number 1 uses 1 chalk, so k = 16.

    • Student number 2 uses 5 chalk, so k = 11.

    • Student number 0 uses 5 chalk, so k = 6.

    • Student number 1 uses 1 chalk, so k = 5.

    • Student number 2 uses 5 chalk, so k = 0.

    Student number 0 does not have enough chalk, so they will have to replace it.

    Example 2:

    Input: chalk = 3,4,1,2, k = 25

    Output: 1

    Explanation: The students go in turns as follows:

    • Student number 0 uses 3 chalk so k = 22.

    • Student number 1 uses 4 chalk so k = 18.

    • Student number 2 uses 1 chalk so k = 17.

    • Student number 3 uses 2 chalk so k = 15.

    • Student number 0 uses 3 chalk so k = 12.

    • Student number 1 uses 4 chalk so k = 8.

    • Student number 2 uses 1 chalk so k = 7.

    • Student number 3 uses 2 chalk so k = 5.

    • Student number 0 uses 3 chalk so k = 2.

    Student number 1 does not have enough chalk, so they will have to replace it.

    Constraints:

    • chalk.length == n

    • <code>1 <= n <= 10<sup>5</sup></code>

    • <code>1 <= chalki<= 10<sup>5</sup></code>

    • <code>1 <= k <= 10<sup>9</sup></code>
