Answer to Question #266211 in Python for anji

Question

Secret Message - 1

Given a string, write a program to mirror the characters of the string in alphabetical order to create a secret message.

Note: Mirroring the characters in alphabetical order replacing the letters 'a' with 'z', 'b' with 'y', ... , 'z' with 'a'. You need to mirror both uppercase and lowercase characters. You can ignore mirroring for all characters that are not letters.

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

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

Explanation

Answer 1

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()

Your string: abcd
