AccentureErnst & Young (EY)

Write a program to input an integer 'n' and print the sum of all its even digits and the sum of all its odd digits separately.


Digits mean numbers, not places! That is, if the given integer is "132456", even digits are 2, 4, and 6, and odd digits are 1, 3, and 5.

Constraints
0<= 'n' <=10000


Example :
Input: 'n' = 132456

Output: 12 9

Explanation:
The sum of even digits = 2 + 4 + 6 = 12
The sum of odd digits = 1 + 3 + 5 = 9

An expression is called the postfix expression if the operator appears in the expression after the operands.

Example :

Infix expression: A + B  *  C - D 

Postfix expression:  A B + C D - *

Given a postfix expression, the task is to evaluate the expression. The answer could be very large, output your answer modulo (10^9+7). Also, use modular division when required.

Note:
1. Operators will only include the basic arithmetic operators like '*', '/', '+', and '-'.

2. The operand can contain multiple digits. 

3. The operators and operands will have space as a separator between them.

4. There won’t be any brackets in the postfix expression.
