Remove All Adjacent Duplicates In String

You are given a string s consisting of lowercase English letters. A duplicate removal consists of choosing two adjacent and equal letters and removing them.

We repeatedly make duplicate removals on s until we no longer can.

Return the final string after all such duplicate removals have been made. It can be proven that the answer is unique.

Example 1
Inputs = "abbaca"
Output"ca"
In "abbaca", remove "bb" to get "aaca", then remove "aa" to get the final string "ca".
Example 2
Inputs = "azxxzy"
Output"ay"
Removing the adjacent duplicate "xx" and then the adjacent duplicate "zz" leaves "ay".

Constraints

  • 1 <= s.length <= 10^5
  • s consists of lowercase English letters.
