<p>You are given a string <code>s</code> consisting of lowercase English letters and the special characters: <code>*</code>, <code>#</code>, and <code>%</code>.</p>

<p>Build a new string <code>result</code> by processing <code>s</code> according to the following rules from left to right:</p>

<ul>
	<li>If the letter is a <strong>lowercase</strong> English letter append it to <code>result</code>.</li>
	<li>A <code>&#39;*&#39;</code> <strong>removes</strong> the last character from <code>result</code>, if it exists.</li>
	<li>A <code>&#39;#&#39;</code> <strong>duplicates</strong> the current <code>result</code> and <strong>appends</strong> it to itself.</li>
	<li>A <code>&#39;%&#39;</code> <strong>reverses</strong> the current <code>result</code>.</li>
</ul>

<p>Return the final string <code>result</code> after processing all characters in <code>s</code>.</p>
