1202\. Smallest String With Swaps
Medium
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.
You can swap the characters at any pair of indices in the given `pairs` **any number of times**.
Return the lexicographically smallest string that `s` can be changed to after using the swaps.
**Example 1:**
**Input:** s = "dcab", pairs = [[0,3],[1,2]]
**Output:** "bacd" **Explaination:**
Swap s[0] and s[3], s = "bcad"
Swap s[1] and s[2], s = "bacd"
**Example 2:**
**Input:** s = "dcab", pairs = [[0,3],[1,2],[0,2]]
**Output:** "abcd" **Explaination:**
Swap s[0] and s[3], s = "bcad"
Swap s[0] and s[2], s = "acbd"
Swap s[1] and s[2], s = "abcd"
**Example 3:**
**Input:** s = "cba", pairs = [[0,1],[1,2]]
**Output:** "abc" **Explaination:**
Swap s[0] and s[1], s = "bca"
Swap s[1] and s[2], s = "bac"
Swap s[0] and s[1], s = "abc"
**Constraints:**
* `1 <= s.length <= 10^5`
* `0 <= pairs.length <= 10^5`
* `0 <= pairs[i][0], pairs[i][1] < s.length`
* `s` only contains lower case English letters.
