Statement

 Goal

The air above us is not stable, there is a lot of movement and turbulences.
Paraglider pilots use something called thermals to gain altitude.

You have to simulate the flight of a pilot and give its position at a certain time t.

The simulation area is represented by a 2D grid :
. means there is no thermal activity
V pilot position (no thermal activity on this position)
-9 to 9 thermal value

Here we consider our paraglider vertical speed is -1m/s and horizontal speed is 10m/s, it goes from left to right
the y step of the grid is 1 meter
the x step of the grid is 10 meters

If the paraglider pilot happen to be in a thermal, its altitude is increased (or decreased) by the thermal value.

If the pilot leaves the grid, you stop the simulation and print its last recorded position.

Warning ! The grid coordinates doesn't use the CG standards
It will be in normal representation, like this :
2 . . .
1 . . .
0 1 2 3

Example: for width = 5, height = 4, t = 4

V . . . .
. . . 1 .
. . 2 . .
. . . . .

then
. . . . .
. V . 1 .
. . 2 . .
. . . . .

then
. . V . .
. . . 1 .
. . 2 . .
. . . . .

then
. . . V .
. . . 1 .
. . 2 . .
. . . . .

then
. . . . .
. . . 1 V
. . 2 . .
. . . . .

position at t is 4 2
Input
line 1 : width grid width
line 2 : height grid height
line 3 : t the duration of the simulation
following lines: a string that give the thermal conditions
Output
the simulated position x y of the pilot at time t
Constraints
0 ≤ t ≤ 99
