3216. Lexicographically Smallest String After a Swap

Easy

Given a string s containing only digits, return the lexicographically smallest string that can be obtained after swapping adjacent digits in s with the same parity at most once.

Digits have the same parity if both are odd or both are even. For example, 5 and 9, as well as 2 and 4, have the same parity, while 6 and 9 do not.

Example 1:

Input: s = “45320”

Output: “43520”

Explanation:

s[1] == '5' and s[2] == '3' both have the same parity, and swapping them results in the lexicographically smallest string.

Example 2:

Input: s = “001”

Output: “001”

Explanation:

There is no need to perform a swap because s is already the lexicographically smallest.

Constraints:

Solution

public class Solution {
    public String getSmallestString(String s) {
        final char[] arr = s.toCharArray();
        for (int i = 1; i < arr.length; i++) {
            if (arr[i - 1] % 2 == arr[i] % 2 && arr[i - 1] > arr[i]) {
                final char temp = arr[i];
                arr[i] = arr[i - 1];
                arr[i - 1] = temp;
                break;
            }
        }
        return String.valueOf(arr);
    }
}
