Problem
You are given a string s
, and an array of pairs of indices in the string pairs
where pairs[i] = [a, b]
indicates 2 indices(0-indexed) of the string.
You can swap the characters at any pair of indices in the given pairs
any number of times.
Return the lexicographically smallest string that s
can be changed to after using the swaps.
Example 1:
Input: s = "dcab", pairs = [[0,3],[1,2]] Output: "bacd" Explaination: Swap s[0] and s[3], s = "bcad" Swap s[1] and s[2], s = "bacd"
Example 2:
Input: s = "dcab", pairs = [[0,3],[1,2],[0,2]] Output: "abcd" Explaination: Swap s[0] and s[3], s = "bcad" Swap s[0] and s[2], s = "acbd" Swap s[1] and s[2], s = "abcd"
Example 3:
Input: s = "cba", pairs = [[0,1],[1,2]] Output: "abc" Explaination: Swap s[0] and s[1], s = "bca" Swap s[1] and s[2], s = "bac" Swap s[0] and s[1], s = "abc"
Constraints:
1 <= s.length <= 10^5
0 <= pairs.length <= 10^5
0 <= pairs[i][0], pairs[i][1] < s.length
s
only contains lower case English letters.
