Smallest String With Swaps

You are given a string s, and an array of pairs of indices in the string pairs where pairs[i] = [a, b] indicates two 0-indexed indices 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
Inputs = "dcab", pairs = [[0,3],[1,2]]
Output"bacd"
Swapping indices 0 and 3 gives bcad, then swapping indices 1 and 2 gives bacd.
Example 2
Inputs = "dcab", pairs = [[0,3],[1,2],[0,2]]
Output"abcd"
Using the allowed swaps can transform dcab into the lexicographically smallest string abcd.

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.
