Problem Statement
	The Incas used a sophisticated system of record keeping consisting of bundles of knotted cords. Such a bundle of cords is called a quipu. Each individual cord represents a single number. Surprisingly, the Incas used a base-10 positional system, just like we do today. Each digit of a number is represented by a cluster of adjacent knots, with spaces between neighboring clusters. The digit is determined by the number of knots in the cluster. For example, the number 243 would be represented by a cord with knots tied in the following pattern -XX-XXXX-XXX- where each uppercase 'X' represents a knot and each '-' represents an unknotted segment of cord (all quotes for clarity only). Unlike many ancient civilizations, the Incas were aware of the concept of zero, and used it in their quipus. A zero is represented by a cluster containing no knots. For example, the number 204003 would be represented by a cord with knots tied in the following pattern -XX--XXXX---XXX- ^^ ^^^ ^^ ^^^ ^^ two zeros between these three segments ^^ one zero between these two segments Notice how adjacent dashes signal the presence of a zero. Your task is to translate a single quipu cord into an integer. The cord will be given as a String knots containing only the characters 'X' and '-'. There will be a single '-' between each cluster of 'X's, as well as a leading '-' and a trailing '-'. The first cluster will not be empty.
Definition
	Class: Quipu Method: readKnots Parameters: String Returns: int Method signature: int readKnots(String knots) (be sure your method is public)
Constraints
-	knots contains between 3 and 50 characters, inclusive.
-	knots contains only the characters 'X' and '-'. Note that 'X' is uppercase.
-	The first and last characters of knots are '-'s. The second character is 'X'.
-	knots does not contain 10 consecutive 'X's.
-	knots will represent a number between 1 and 1000000, inclusive.
Examples
0)
	"-XX-XXXX-XXX-" Returns: 243 The first example above.
1)
	"-XX--XXXX---XXX-" Returns: 204003 The second example above.
2)
	"-X-" Returns: 1
3)
	"-X-------" Returns: 1000000
4)
	"-XXXXXXXXX--XXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXX-" Returns: 909979
