Generate Binary Strings from Pattern

Given a string STR containing '0', '1', and '?' special characters, generate all possible strings by replacing each '?' with either '0' or '1'.

Input:

The first line contains an integer 'T' representing the number of test cases.
Each of the following T lines contains a string 'STR' consisting of characters '0', '1', and '?'.

Output:

For each test case, return all possible strings in lexicographically sorted order that can be generated as described.

Example:

Input:
2
1?0?
??
Output:
["1000", "1001", "1100", "1101"]
["00", "01", "10", "11"]

Constraints:

  • 1 <= T <= 50
  • 1 <= |STR| <= 30

Note:

The number of special characters '?' will not exceed 14.
