ACSL 2015-2016 Junior Division Contest #2 ACSL STRINGS

Every computer language has different string functions and many have a different method of finding a substring. For this program you will be asked to code the algorithm that replicates the string function SUBSTR (string, start, length) as defined below:

Parameter Description
string Specifies the string on which the function is to be applied
start
  • A non-negative number – Start at a specified position in the string
  • A negative number – Start at a specified position from the end of the string
  • Note the first character on the left is in position 0
length
  • A positive number – The number of characters to be returned from the start parameter
  • A negative number – The number of characters to be omitted from the end of the string
  • 0 – Returns all the characters from the start parameter to the end of the string

INPUT FORMAT

There will be 6 lines of input (there are 9 shown here for extra examples). The first line will be a character string of fewer than 100 characters. The remaining lines will each have 2 integers representing the start and length values of the function parameters.

OUTPUT FORMAT

For each set of parameter values, print the substring produced. We guarantee that the first and/or last outputted character will not be a space. We also guarantee that each substring will be valid.

SAMPLE

INPUT

Hello world!
