Gotta say, Ai can be kinda neat:

# Assuming these are inputs
num = int(input("Enter a number: "))
string_input = input("Enter a string: ")

def process_data(data_list, number):
    result = ""
    if number == 2:
        for char in data_list:
            result += data_list[char]
        return result
    elif number == 1:
        result = data_list[number]
        for char in data_list:
            result += data_list[char]
        return result

# Main function call
output = process_data(list(string_input), num)
print(output)

# This seems like an external tool for copying to clipboard, e.g., pyperclip
import pyperclip
pyperclip.copy(output)
