Question

Given a string, write a program to print a secret message that replaces characters with numbers 'a' with 1, 'b' with 2, ..., 'z' with 26 where characters are separated by '-'.

Note: You need to replace both uppercase and lowercase characters. You can ignore replacing all characters that are not letters.

For example, if the given input is "python", "p" should replaced with "16", similarly"y" with "25","t" with "20","h" with "8","o" with "15","n" with "14". So the output should be "16-25-20-8-15-14".
