Repeated Removal of Adjacent Duplicates
You are given a string s consisting of lowercase letters. In one
operation, you may choose two adjacent, equal characters and
remove both of them. Apply this operation repeatedly — including
to characters that become adjacent as a result of earlier removals
— until no two adjacent characters are equal.
Return the final string.
Example 1
Input: s = "abbaca"
Output: "ca"
Explanation: "abbaca" -> remove "bb" -> "aaca" -> remove "aa" -> "ca"
Example 2
Input: s = "azxxzy"
Output: "ay"
Explanation: "azxxzy" -> remove "xx" -> "azzy" -> remove "zz" -> "ay"
Constraints
1 <= s.length <= 10^5sconsists only of lowercase English letters.
