The second for loop is indented with tab

S=map(int,raw_input().split())+[0]
for y in range(max(S),min(S)-1,-1):
 q=r=e=" "*4
 for x in S:
    w=x*(x<0);z=x*(x>0)
    if w<=y<z:r=r[:-3]+"|   | |";q=q[:-3]+"|___|/"+" |"[y>w]
    elif(y==z)*x:q=q[:-2]+"/__ /|";r+="__  "
    else:q+=e;r+=e
 print r+"\n"+q

  Q+=q;R+=r;N=y
 print Q.rstrip()+"\n"+R.rstrip()
