# Introduction 

Digital Cypher assigns a unique number to each letter of the alphabet:

```
 a  b  c  d  e  f  g  h  i  j  k  l  m  n  o  p  q  r  s  t  u  v  w  x  y  z
 1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
```

In the encrypted word we write the corresponding numbers instead of the letters. For example, the word `scout` becomes:

```
 s  c  o  u  t
19  3 15 21 20
```
Then we add to each number a digit from the key (repeated if necessary). For example if the key is `1939`:

```
   s  c  o  u  t
  19  3 15 21 20
 + 1  9  3  9  1
 ---------------
  20 12 18 30 21
  
   m  a  s  t  e  r  p  i  e  c  e
  13  1 19 20  5 18 16  9  5  3  5
+  1  9  3  9  1  9  3  9  1  9  3
  --------------------------------
  14 10 22 29  6 27 19 18  6  12 8
```

# Task

Write a function that accepts a `message` string  and an array of integers `code`. As the result, return the `key` that was used to encrypt the `message`. The `key` has to be shortest of all possible keys that can be used to code the `message`: i.e. when the possible keys are `12` , `1212`, `121212`, your solution should return `12`.

#### Input / Output:

* The `message` is a string containing only lowercase letters.
* The `code` is an array of positive integers.
* The `key` output is a positive integer.

# Examples

```python
find_the_key("scout", [20, 12, 18, 30, 21]) # -->  1939
find_the_key("masterpiece", [14, 10, 22, 29, 6, 27, 19, 18, 6, 12, 8]) # -->  1939
find_the_key("nomoretears", [15, 17, 14, 17, 19, 7, 21, 7, 2, 20, 20]) # -->  12
```
