+3168\. Minimum Number of Chairs in a Waiting Room
+
+Easy
+
+You are given a string `s`. Simulate events at each second `i`:
+
+*   If `s[i] == 'E'`, a person enters the waiting room and takes one of the chairs in it.
+*   If `s[i] == 'L'`, a person leaves the waiting room, freeing up a chair.
+
+Return the **minimum** number of chairs needed so that a chair is available for every person who enters the waiting room given that it is initially **empty**.
+
+**Example 1:**
+
+**Input:** s = "EEEEEEE"
+
+**Output:** 7
+
+**Explanation:**
+
+After each second, a person enters the waiting room and no person leaves it. Therefore, a minimum of 7 chairs is needed.
+
+**Example 2:**
+
+**Input:** s = "ELELEEL"
+
+**Output:** 2
+
+**Explanation:**
+
+Let's consider that there are 2 chairs in the waiting room. The table below shows the state of the waiting room at each second.
+
+| Second | Event | People in the Waiting Room | Available Chairs |
+|--------|-------|----------------------------|------------------|
+| 0      | Enter | 1                          | 1                |
+| 1      | Leave | 0                          | 2                |
+| 2      | Enter | 1                          | 1                |
+| 3      | Leave | 0                          | 2                |
+| 4      | Enter | 1                          | 1                |
+| 5      | Enter | 2                          | 0                |
+| 6      | Leave | 1                          | 1                |
+
+**Example 3:**
+
+**Input:** s = "ELEELEELLL"
+
+**Output:** 3
+
+**Explanation:**
+
+Let's consider that there are 3 chairs in the waiting room. The table below shows the state of the waiting room at each second.
+
+| Second | Event | People in the Waiting Room | Available Chairs |
+|--------|-------|----------------------------|------------------|
+| 0      | Enter | 1                          | 2                |

+| 2      | Enter | 1                          | 2                |
+| 3      | Enter | 2                          | 1                |
+| 4      | Leave | 1                          | 2                |
+| 5      | Enter | 2                          | 1                |
+| 6      | Enter | 3                          | 0                |
+| 7      | Leave | 2                          | 1                |
+| 8      | Leave | 1                          | 2                |
+| 9      | Leave | 0                          | 3                |
+
+**Constraints:**
+
+*   `1 <= s.length <= 50`
+*   `s` consists only of the letters `'E'` and `'L'`.
+*   `s` represents a valid sequence of entries and exits.

+3170\. Lexicographically Minimum String After Removing Stars
+
+Medium
+
+You are given a string `s`. It may contain any number of `'*'` characters. Your task is to remove all `'*'` characters.
+
+While there is a `'*'`, do the following operation:
+
+*   Delete the leftmost `'*'` and the **smallest** non-`'*'` character to its _left_. If there are several smallest characters, you can delete any of them.
+
+Return the lexicographically smallest resulting string after removing all `'*'` characters.
+
+**Example 1:**
+
+**Input:** s = "aaba\*"
+
+**Output:** "aab"
+
+**Explanation:**
+
+We should delete one of the `'a'` characters with `'*'`. If we choose `s[3]`, `s` becomes the lexicographically smallest.
+
+**Example 2:**
+
+**Input:** s = "abc"
+
+**Output:** "abc"
+
+**Explanation:**
+
+There is no `'*'` in the string.
+
+**Constraints:**
+
+*   <code>1 <= s.length <= 10<sup>5</sup></code>
+*   `s` consists only of lowercase English letters and `'*'`.
+*   The input is generated such that it is possible to delete all `'*'` characters.

+3171\. Find Subarray With Bitwise AND Closest to K
+
+Hard
+
+You are given an array `nums` and an integer `k`. You need to find a subarray of `nums` such that the **absolute difference** between `k` and the bitwise `AND` of the subarray elements is as **small** as possible. In other words, select a subarray `nums[l..r]` such that `|k - (nums[l] AND nums[l + 1] ... AND nums[r])|` is minimum.
+
+Return the **minimum** possible value of the absolute difference.
+
+A **subarray** is a contiguous **non-empty** sequence of elements within an array.
+
+**Example 1:**
+
+**Input:** nums = [1,2,4,5], k = 3
+
+**Output:** 1
+
+**Explanation:**
+
+The subarray `nums[2..3]` has `AND` value 4, which gives the minimum absolute difference `|3 - 4| = 1`.
+
+**Example 2:**
+
+**Input:** nums = [1,2,1,2], k = 2
+
+**Output:** 0
+
+**Explanation:**
+
+The subarray `nums[1..1]` has `AND` value 2, which gives the minimum absolute difference `|2 - 2| = 0`.
+
+**Example 3:**
+
+**Input:** nums = [1], k = 10
+
+**Output:** 9
+
+**Explanation:**
+
+There is a single subarray with `AND` value 1, which gives the minimum absolute difference `|10 - 1| = 9`.
+
+**Constraints:**
+
+*   <code>1 <= nums.length <= 10<sup>5</sup></code>
+*   <code>1 <= nums[i] <= 10<sup>9</sup></code>
+*   <code>1 <= k <= 10<sup>9</sup></code>
