1047. Remove All Adjacent Duplicates In String

题目

Given a string S of lowercase letters, a duplicate removal consists of choosing two adjacent and equal letters, and removing them.

We repeatedly make duplicate removals on S until we no longer can.

Return the final string after all such duplicate removals have been made. It is guaranteed the answer is unique.

Example 1:

Input: "abbaca"
Output: "ca"
Explanation: 
For example, in "abbaca" we could remove "bb" since the letters are adjacent and equal, and this is the only possible move.  The result of this move is that the string is "aaca", of which only "aa" is possible, so the final string is "ca".

Note:

1. 1 <= S.length <= 20000
2. S consists only of English lowercase letters.

题目大意

给出由小写字母组成的字符串 S，重复项删除操作会选择两个相邻且相同的字母，并删除它们。在 S 上反复执行重复项删除操作，直到无法继续删除。在完成所有重复项删除操作后返回最终的字符串。答案保证唯一。

解题思路

用栈模拟，类似“对对碰”，一旦新来的字符和栈顶的字符一样的话，就弹出栈顶字符，直至扫完整个字符串。栈中剩下的字符串就是最终要输出的结果。
