'''
The ternary numeric system is commonly used in Codeland, and to represent ternary numbers, the Tick alphabet is employed. In this system, the digit 0 
is represented by ., 1 by -., and 2 by --. Your task is to decode a Tick-encoded string and determine the corresponding ternary number.

Example 1
Input:
.-.--
Output:
012
