Look at the sample in the problem: 9 6 3 5 9 6 3 5 9 There are two basins for the above problem, so there are 2 possible ways to name them: a b b a a b a a a which has the result string: abbaabaaa OR
b a a b b a b b b which has the result string: baabbabbb Because of lexicographical order (dictionary order), we have to choose the first result.
