HackerRank Super Reduced String problem solution

In this HackerRank Super Reduced String problem, you need to Reduce a string of lowercase characters in range ascii[‘a’..’z’]by doing a series of operations. In each operation, select a pair of adjacent letters that match, and delete them. Delete as many characters as possible using this method and return the resulting string. If the final string is empty, return Empty String

Problem solution in Python programming.

s = input()

changed = True
while changed and s != "":
    changed = False
    for i in range(len(s) - 1):
        if s[i] == s[i+1]:
            changed = True
            s = s[:(i)] + s[(i+2):]
            break

if s == "":
    print('Empty String')
else:
    print(s)
