Orderly Queue - Solution & Explanation

This approach is best when k = 1. Since you can only move the first character to the end, you are only able to produce rotations of the string. Therefore, to find the lexicographically smallest string, you can generate all rotations of the string and find the smallest one.

In this C implementation, rotateString is a helper function to get a rotated version of the string. The main function checks if k > 1 to sort the string. If k == 1, it rotates the string in all possible ways and keeps track of the lexicographically smallest string. The qsort function from the standard library sorts the string when k > 1.

When k > 1, the problem allows moving any of the top k characters to the end, meaning we can potentially rearrange the entire string. Thus, this is equivalent to sorting the characters in the string to achieve the lexicographically smallest string. This can be directly achieved by sorting the string.

This C solution employs qsort to sort the characters of the string when k > 1. For this approach, when k==1, it is assumed to be handled by another approach since the logic for k=1 isn't applicable here.
