<p>You are given a string <code>s</code>, and an array of pairs of indices in the string&nbsp;<code>pairs</code>&nbsp;where&nbsp;<code>pairs[i] =&nbsp;[a, b]</code>&nbsp;indicates 2 indices(0-indexed) of the string.</p>

<p>You can&nbsp;swap the characters at any pair of indices in the given&nbsp;<code>pairs</code>&nbsp;<strong>any number of times</strong>.</p>

<p>Return the&nbsp;lexicographically smallest string that <code>s</code>&nbsp;can be changed to after using the swaps.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong class="example">Example 1:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> s = &quot;dcab&quot;, pairs = [[0,3],[1,2]]
<strong>Output:</strong> &quot;bacd&quot;
<strong>Explaination:</strong> 
Swap s[0] and s[3], s = &quot;bcad&quot;
Swap s[1] and s[2], s = &quot;bacd&quot;
</pre>

<p><strong class="example">Example 2:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> s = &quot;dcab&quot;, pairs = [[0,3],[1,2],[0,2]]
<strong>Output:</strong> &quot;abcd&quot;
<strong>Explaination: </strong>
Swap s[0] and s[3], s = &quot;bcad&quot;
Swap s[0] and s[2], s = &quot;acbd&quot;
Swap s[1] and s[2], s = &quot;abcd&quot;</pre>

<p><strong class="example">Example 3:</strong></p>

<pre>

Swap s[1] and s[2], s = &quot;bac&quot;
