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.
