[2390. Removing Stars From a String](https://leetcode.com/problems/removing-stars-from-a-string/)

### 題目描述

You are given a string `s`, which contains stars `*`.

In one operation, you can:

* Choose a star in `s`.
* Remove the closest **non-star** character to its **left**, as well as remove the star itself.

Return *the string after **all** stars have been removed.*

**Note:**

* The input will be generated such that the operation is always possible.
* It can be shown that the resulting string will always be unique.

### 範例

**Example 1:**

Input: s = "leet**cod*e"
Output: "lecoe"
Explanation: Performing the removals from left to right:
- The closest character to the 1st star is 't' in "leet**cod*e". s becomes "lee*cod*e".
- The closest character to the 2nd star is 'e' in "lee*cod*e". s becomes "lecod*e".
- The closest character to the 3rd star is 'd' in "lecod*e". s becomes "lecoe".
There are no more stars, so we return "lecoe".

**Example 2:**

Input: s = "erase*****"
Output: ""
Explanation: The entire string is removed, so we return an empty string.

**Constraints**:

* 1 <= `s.length` <= 10^5^
* `s` consists of lowercase English letters and stars `*`.
* The operation above can be performed on `s`.

### 解答
#### Python

class Solution:
    def removeStars(self, s: str) -> str:
        stack = []

        for ch in s:
            if ch != '*':
                stack.append(ch)
            else:
                stack.pop()

        return "".join(stack)

#### Javascript

function removeStars(s) {
  const stack = [];
  for (const c of s) {
    if (c !== '*') {
      stack.push(c);
    } else {
      stack.pop();
    }
  }

  return stack.join('');
}

#### C#

public string RemoveStars(string s) {
    char[] output = new char[s.Length];
    int len = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < s.Length; i++) {
        output[len] = s[i];
        len = s[i] switch {
            '*' => len - 1,
            _ => len + 1
        };
    }

    return string.Concat(output.Take(len));
}
