<p>Given a string containing digits from <code>2-9</code> inclusive, return all possible letter combinations that the number could represent. Return the answer in <strong>any order</strong>.</p>

<p>A mapping of digits to letters (just like on the telephone buttons) is given below. Note that 1 does not map to any letters.</p>

<p><strong>Constraints:</strong></p>

<ul>
	<li><code>0 &lt;= digits.length &lt;= 4</code></li>
	<li><code>digits[i]</code> is a digit in the range <code>[&#39;2&#39;, &#39;9&#39;]</code>.</li>
</ul>
