Description

Startups are here, startups are there. Startups are everywhere! Polycarp would like to have his own
startup, too. His business idea is a password service. Have you noticed how many hours you spent trying
to create a password?
Polycarp's service will help clients to create a password by requirements. He is thinking about a freemium
business model of monetization. He doesn't know what it is, but he likes the word freemium.
The rst release of Polycarp's startup should have a simple form with two elds. The rst eld is for n,
where n denotes that the required password can consist of only rst n lowercase letters from the Latin
alphabet. The second form eld is for string s containing the characters <', >' and `='. The sign in position
i denotes the comparison result of the i-th and the (i + 1)-th character in the password. So if the length
of s is l then the required password should consist of exactly l + 1 lowercase letters.
Polycarp oers you a great position in his startup, he oers you to become the CTO. Polycarp can't oer
you a great salary (just only $1), but he will give you so many stock options that in case of IPO exit
you will be a millionaire! Why not? So your task is to write a program to generate a password containing
some of the rst n lowercase letters of the Latin alphabet and which has s as a result of comparisons of
consecutive characters

Input

The rst line of the input contains an integer number n (1 ≤ n ≤ 26), where n denotes that the required
password should contain only lowercase letters from the rst n letters of the Latin alphabet. The second
line contains the string s (the length of s is between 1 and 5000, inclusive), where s consists of the
characters <', >' and `='. The i-th character stands for the result of comparison of the i-th and the
(i + 1)-th characters of the password.

Output

Print the required password or -1 if it doesn't exist. You may print any answer in case of multiple answers.

Sample Input

5
=<>

Sample Output

bbdc

Hint

题意

给你一个字符串，你可以用n个字符。

要求满足字符串所给的大小关系表示。

题解：

dp，dp[i][j]表示第i个位置用第j个字符可不可行。

然后转移就行了。

其实贪心好像也可以，懒得去想了……
