The input will be a string in the single line containing spaces and letters (both uppercase and lowercase).Output

The output should be a single line containing the secret message. All characters in the output should be in lower case.

Explanation

For example, if the given input is "python", "p" should replaced with "k", similarly "y" with "b", "t" with "g", "h" with "s", "o" with "l", "n" with "m". So the output should be "kbgslm".

def main():
    inputString = input("Your string: ")
    outputString=""
    for letter in inputString:
        reverseLetter=getReverseLetter(letter)
        if(reverseLetter!=-1):
            outputString+=str(reverseLetter)
        else:
            outputString+=letter


    print(outputString)

def getReverseLetter(letter):
    alphabet = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
    alphabetReverse = "zyxwvutsrqponmlkjihgfedcba"
    for i in range(0,len(alphabet)):
        if letter.islower() and letter==alphabet[i]:
            return alphabetReverse[i]
        if letter.isupper() and letter==alphabet[i].upper():
            return alphabetReverse[i].upper()
    return -1

main()
