1702. Maximum Binary String After Change

https://leetcode.com/problems/maximum-binary-string-after-change

Description

You are given a binary string binary consisting of only 0's or 1's. You can apply each of the following operations any number of times:

  • Operation 1: If the number contains the substring "00", you can replace it with "10".

    • For example, "00010" -> "10010"

  • Operation 2: If the number contains the substring "10", you can replace it with "01".

    • For example, "00010" -> "00001"

Return the maximum binary string you can obtain after any number of operations. Binary string x is greater than binary string y if x's decimal representation is greater than y's decimal representation.

Example 1:

**Input:** binary = "000110"
**Output:** "111011"
**Explanation:** A valid transformation sequence can be:
"000110" -> "000101" 
"000101" -> "100101" 
"100101" -> "110101" 
"110101" -> "110011" 
"110011" -> "111011"

Example 2:

**Input:** binary = "01"
**Output:** "01"
**Explanation:** "01" cannot be transformed any further.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= binary.length <= 105

  • binary consist of '0' and '1'.
