Recommended: Please try your approach on {IDE} first, before moving on to the solution.

Naive Approach: The simplest approach is to remove the smallest character with a smaller index in the string in each step and keep on adding the cost to the total cost. Print the final cost after this operation.

Time Complexity:_ O(N2)_

Auxiliary Space:_ O(1)_
