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.

\n\n

You can swap the characters at any pair of indices in the given pairs any number of times.

\n\n

Return the lexicographically smallest string that s can be changed to after using the swaps.

Example 1:

\n\n
\nInput: s = "dcab", pairs = [[0,3],[1,2]]\nOutput: "bacd"\nExplaination: \nSwap s[0] and s[3], s = "bcad"\nSwap s[1] and s[2], s = "bacd"\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: s = "dcab", pairs = [[0,3],[1,2],[0,2]]\nOutput: "abcd"\nExplaination: \nSwap s[0] and s[3], s = "bcad"\nSwap s[0] and s[2], s = "acbd"\nSwap s[1] and s[2], s = "abcd"
\n\n

Example 3:

\n\n
\nInput: s = "cba", pairs = [[0,1],[1,2]]\nOutput: "abc"\nExplaination: \nSwap s[0] and s[1], s = "bca"\nSwap s[1] and s[2], s = "bac"\nSwap s[0] and s[1], s = "abc"\n
