/**
 * 484. Find Permutation
 * https://leetcode.com/problems/find-permutation/
 * Difficulty: Medium
 *
 * A permutation perm of n integers of all the integers in the range [1, n] can be
 * represented as a string s of length n - 1 where:
 * - s[i] == 'I' if perm[i] < perm[i + 1], and
 * - s[i] == 'D' if perm[i] > perm[i + 1].
 *
 * Given a string s, reconstruct the lexicographically smallest permutation perm and return it.
