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.
Examples
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.
