Possible Words from a Phone Number: Problem Statement

Given a string S composed of digits ranging from 2 to 9, determine all possible strings that can be created by mapping these digits to their corresponding letters on a T9 keypad. The resulting strings should be printed in lexicographically sorted order.

Example:

Input:
S = "34"
Output:
dg dh di eg eh ei fg fh fi
Explanation:

Mapping the digits 3 and 4 produces strings using letters {"d", "e", "f"} for 3, and {"g", "h", "i"} for 4, resulting in a total combination of strings.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= T <= 10
  • 1 <= |S| <= 7
  • |S| denotes the length of string S
  • Time limit: 1 sec
Note:
You do not need to print anything; it has already been taken care of. Just implement the given function.
