Minimum String Length After Removing Substrings
Explore how to solve string reduction problems by repeatedly removing substrings AB and CD using stack techniques. Understand the step-by-step process to minimize string length and practice implementing efficient solutions. This lesson helps you apply stack operations in string manipulation challenges common in coding interviews.

Statement
You are given a string, s, containing only uppercase English letters. You can perform operations on this string where, in each operation, you remove any occurrence of the substrings "AB" or "CD" from s.
Your task is to return the shortest string length after applying all possible operations.
Note: After each removal, the string joins back together, ...
