Problem Description

Mo and Larry have devised a way of encrypting messages. They first decide secretly on the number of columns and write the message (letters only) down the columns, padding with extra random letters so as to make a rectangular array of letters. For example, if the message is “There’s no place like home on a snowy night” and there are five columns, Mo would write down

t o i o y
h p k n n
e l e a i
r a h s g
e c o n h
s e m o t
n l e w x


Note that Mo includes only letters and writes them all in lower case. In this example, Mo used the character ‘x’ to pad the message out to make a rectangle, although he could have used any letter.

Mo then sends the message to Larry by writing the letters in each row, alternating left-to-right and right-to-left. So, the above would be encrypted as

Your job is to recover for Larry the original message (along with any extra padding letters) from the encrypted one.

 

Input

There will be multiple input sets. Input for each set will consist of two lines. The first line will contain an integer in the range 2. . . 20 indicating the number of columns used. The next line is a string of up to 200 lower case letters. The last input set is followed by a line containing a single 0, indicating end of input.

 

Output

Each input set should generate one line of output, giving the original plaintext message, with no spaces.

思路：

                   注意：这道题我是通过一位数组来做的，当然二维数组会更简单！

                   通过题目描述，我们可以知道，输入和输出之间是有一定的规律的，这个规律是通过一个列矩阵来描述的，输入是按照矩阵的s形输入的（第一次从左向右），而输出是按照列由上到下输出！
