Answer to Question #187020 in Python for manikanta

Question

Secret Message - 2

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 '-'.

a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

Input

Input will be a string in single line containing spaces and letters both uppercase and lowercase.

Output

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

Explanation

For example, if 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 output be "16-25-20-8-15-14".

Answer 1

def SecretMsg(Str):
    s = InputStr.lower()
    Msg=""
    for r in range(0,len(s)):
        if(ord(s[r])>=97 and ord(s[r])<=122):
           n = ord(s[r])-96
           if(r<len(s)-1):
                Msg = Msg+str(n)+"-"
           else:
                Msg = Msg+str(n)
    return(Msg)    


InputStr = "python"
print("\nSample Input: ",InputStr)
print("Output: ",SecretMsg(InputStr))


InputStr = "python learning"
print("\nSample Input: ",InputStr)
print("Output: ",SecretMsg(InputStr))
