CCC '19 J2 - Time to Decompress
View as PDFCanadian Computing Competition: 2019 Stage 1, Junior #2
You and your friend have come up with a way to send messages back and forth.
Your friend can encode a message to you by writing down a positive integer and a symbol. You can decode that message by writing out that symbol
times in a row on one line.
Given a message that your friend has encoded, decode it.
Input Specification
The first line of input contains , the number of lines in the message.
The next lines each contain one positive integer less than
, followed by one space, followed by a (non-space) character.
Output Specification
The output should be lines long. Each line should contain the decoding of the corresponding line of the input. Specifically, if line
of the input contained
x, then line of the output should contain just the character
x printed times.

keep in mind that there is a space between the two input values, if you dont account for it, your program will take in the space as well, which is not allowed in the problem. make sure to cut off the first character (the space) after receiving in the input, such as using value.substring(1) in java. anyways this worked for me. hope this helps!
this is kind of weird. I mean, who would send goofy ahh letters and numbers back and forth. like use smth different ngl.
