Goal

To settle the debate of 0-based vs 1-based indexing I have created a language where you must explicitly state the range of indices an array should have.

For example, given an array definition "A[-1..1] = 1 2 3", you would have:

• A[-1] = 1
• A[0] = 2
• A[1] = 3

You are given a list of n array definitions and your job is to figure out what number is found in a given index i of an array arr. Note that the indexing operations may be nested (in the above example, A[A[-1]] would produce result 3).

Input

• Line 1: An integer n for the number of array assignments
• n next lines: One array assignment per line: array_identifier [ first_index .. last_index ] = last_index - first_index + 1 integers separated by space
• Line n+2: Element to print: arr [ i ]

Constraints

• 1 <= n <= 100
• Array names consist only of uppercase letters A to Z
• Array lengths are between 1 and 100 (no empty arrays)
• Indexing operations have at most 50 levels of nesting
• Indices are always within bounds in the test cases

Examples

See the test folder for examples of input/output.

Example 1

Input

3
A[-1..1] = 1 2 3
B[3..7] = 3 4 5 6 7
C[-2..1] = 1 2 3 4
A[0]

Output

2
