Problem Statement

You are given a string s consisting of lowercase English letters. Extract all the characters in the odd-indexed positions and print the string obtained by concatenating them. Here, the leftmost character is assigned the index 1.

Constraints

Each character in s is a lowercase English letter.

1≤|s|≤10^5

Input

The input is given from Standard Input in the following format:
