1544\. Make The String Great
Easy
Given a string `s` of lower and upper case English letters.
A good string is a string which doesn't have **two adjacent characters** `s[i]` and `s[i + 1]` where:
* `0 <= i <= s.length - 2`
* `s[i]` is a lower-case letter and `s[i + 1]` is the same letter but in upper-case or **vice-versa**.
To make the string good, you can choose **two adjacent** characters that make the string bad and remove them. You can keep doing this until the string becomes good.
Return _the string_ after making it good. The answer is guaranteed to be unique under the given constraints.
**Notice** that an empty string is also good.
**Example 1:**
**Input:** s = "leEeetcode"
**Output:** "leetcode"
**Explanation:** In the first step, either you choose i = 1 or i = 2, both will result "leEeetcode" to be reduced to "leetcode".
**Example 2:**
**Input:** s = "abBAcC"
**Output:** ""
**Explanation:** We have many possible scenarios, and all lead to the same answer. For example: "abBAcC" --> "aAcC" --> "cC" --> "" "abBAcC" --> "abBA" --> "aA" --> ""
**Example 3:**
**Input:** s = "s"
**Output:** "s"
**Constraints:**
* `1 <= s.length <= 100`
* `s` contains only lower and upper case English letters.
