''' Purpose: separately prompt for a string s and a list of integers numbers.
    The program displays the string formed by using numbers as indices into s.
'''

# get the string of interest for examination
reply = input( "Enter text: ")
text = reply.strip()

# get the numeric inputs
reply = input( "Enter some integers: " )
# We want a list of the numbers from the string of numbers
numeric_string_list = reply.split()

# accumulate from the numeric inputs a list of integer indices.

indices = [] # list accumulator we're adding our number indices to
for s in numeric_string_list: # run through list of numbers (strings)
    i = int( s ) # Convert each string of a number into an actual integer
    indices.append( i ) # Add it to our integer list of indices


# acccumulate output string by using the indices one-at-a-time to look into s
secret_message = "" # Our accumulator is an empty string because our output is a string!
for i in indices:
    ch = text[ i ] # Grab the character at index i out of the string text
    secret_message = secret_message + ch # We are adding these characters we get at i one by one to the string

    # THE STRING IS UPDATED EACH TIME WE RUN THROUGH THR FOR LOOP AND REASSIGNED THE NEW
    # UPDATED VALUE AND RETAINS ITS FINAL VALUE SINCE IT WAS ORIGINALLY INITIALIZED
    # OUTSIDE THE FOR LOOP AND UDPATED WITHIN :)

print( secret_message )
# .append() is for lists.
