Problem Statement
You are given a string $S$ of length $N$ consisting of A
, B
, C
.
You can do the following two kinds of operations on $S$ any number of times in any order.
- Choose
A
in $S$, delete it, and insertBB
at that position. - Choose two adjacent characters that are
BB
in $S$, delete them, and insertA
at that position.
Find the lexicographically smallest possible string that $S$ can become after your operations.
What is the lexicographical order?
Simply speaking, the lexicographical order is the order in which words are listed in a dictionary. As a more formal definition, here is the algorithm to determine the lexicographical order between different strings $S$ and $T$.
Below, let $S_i$ denote the $i$-th character of $S$. Also, if $S$ is lexicographically smaller than $T$, we will denote that fact as $S \lt T$; if $S$ is lexicographically larger than $T$, we will denote that fact as $S \gt T$.
- Let $L$ be the smaller of the lengths of $S$ and $T$. For each $i=1,2,\dots,L$, we check whether $S_i$ and $T_i$ are the same.
- If there is an $i$ such that $S_i \neq T_i$, let $j$ be the smallest such $i$. Then, we compare $S_j$ and $T_j$. If $S_j$ comes earlier than $T_j$ in alphabetical order, we determine that $S \lt T$ and quit; if $S_j$ comes later than $T_j$, we determine that $S \gt T$ and quit.
- If there is no $i$ such that $S_i \neq T_i$, we compare the lengths of $S$ and $T$. If $S$ is shorter than $T$, we determine that $S \lt T$ and quit; if $S$ is longer than $T$, we determine that $S \gt T$ and quit.
Constraints

Sample Input 1
4 CBAA
Sample Output 1
CAAB
We should do the following.
- Initially, we have $S=$
CBAA
. - Delete the $3$-rd character
A
and insertBB
, making $S=$CBBBA
. - Delete the $2$-nd and $3$-rd characters
BB
and insertA
, making $S=$CABA
. - Delete the $4$-th character
A
and insertBB
, making $S=$CABBB
. - Delete the $3$-rd and $4$-th characters
BB
and insertA
, making $S=$CAAB
.
We cannot make $S$ lexicographically smaller than CAAB
. Thus, the answer is CAAB
.
