Shifting Letters

You are given a string s of lowercase English letters and an integer array shifts of the same length. Call the shift() of a letter, the next letter in the alphabet, (wrapping around so that 'z' becomes 'a'). For example, shift('a') = 'b', shift('t') = 'u', and shift('z') = 'a'. Now for each shifts[i] = x, we want to shift the first i + 1 letters of s, x times. Return the final string after all such shifts to s are applied.
