Question

Secret Message - 2

Given a string, write a program to print a secret message that replaces characters with numbers 'a' with 1, 'b' with 2, ..., 'z' with 26 where characters are separated by '-'.

Note: You need to replace both uppercase and lowercase characters. You can ignore replacing all characters that are not letters.

abcdefghij12345678910

klmnopqr1112131415161718

stuvwxyz1920212223242526

Output

The output should be a single line containing the secret message. All characters in the output should be in lower case.

Explanation

For example, if the given input is "python", "p" should replaced with "16", similarly"y" with "25","t" with "20","h" with "8","o" with "15","n" with "14". So the output should be "16-25-20-8-15-14".
