Smallest String After Removing One Character

Smallest String After Removing One Character

Given a string (s) containing only lowercase English letters, remove exactly one character from (s) to produce a new string. Your task is to determine the lexicographically smallest string that can be formed by such a removal.

For example, if (s = ) "leetcode", removing the first character yields "eetcode", which is the smallest possible result compared to removing any other character.

Note: The lexicographical order is defined as the usual dictionary order.

inputFormat
