Problem

A permutation perm of n integers of all the integers in the range [1, n] can be represented as a string s of length n - 1 where:
  • s[i] == 'I' if perm[i] < perm[i + 1], and
  • s[i] == 'D' if perm[i] > perm[i + 1].
Given a string s, reconstruct the lexicographically smallest permutation perm and return it.

Examples

Constraints

  • 1 <= s.length <= 10^5
  • s[i] is either 'I' or 'D'.
