Tip of the day
Break your NetLogo model into simple procedures using functions for better readability. Use the ask command efficiently to control agents and optimize performance by minimizing unnecessary computations in the go procedure. Always test your model with small agent populations before scaling up.

LFortran Advances: LFortran, an open-source Fortran compiler, achieved compatibility with the PRIMA library in March 2025, enhancing support for numerical computing.

Instructions

Objective
Write a python assignment to work with dictionaries.

Requirements and Specifications

Introduction:
Assignments evaluates understanding student understanding of dictionaries.
Instructions:
  1. Create a Python code file named M4Lab_Encryption_FirstLast.py
  2. (replace "FirstLast" with your own name)

  3.  Add a title comment block to the top of the new Python file using the following form
  4. # A brief description of the project

    # Date

    # CSC-121-Encryption

    # Your Name

  5. Create a program that uses a dictionary to assign "codes" to each character in the alphabet. For example
  6. codes = {'A' : ')' , 'a' : '0' , 'B' : '(' , 'b' : '9' ,.......}

  7. Using the example above, the letter 'A' would be converted to a parentheses ')' and the letter 'a' would be converted to a zero (0) and so on.
  8. The program is to ask the user to enter a sentence, then pass the sentence to a function that would create an encrypted version of the sentence.
  9. The function that evalutes the sentence is to use a loop to iterate over the sentence then use the dictionary and create the encrypted version of the sentence. This function is a value returning function, meaning it is to return the encrypted version of the sentence.
  10. The program is to then display the encrypted version of the sentence

codes = {'A': ')', 'B': '(', 'C': '*', 'D': '&', 'E': '^', 'F': '%', 'G': '$', 'H': '#', 'I': '@', 'J': '!',

         'K': '}', 'L': '{', 'M': 'P', 'N': 'O', 'O': 'I', 'P': 'U', 'Q': 'Y', 'R': 'T', 'S': 'R', 'T': 'E',

         'U': 'W', 'V': 'Q', 'W': '"', 'X': ':', 'Y': 'L', 'Z': 'K',

         'u': 'w', 'v': 'q', 'w': '\'', 'x': ';', 'y': 'l', 'z': 'k'}

def encode(text):

    result = ""

    for c in text:

        if c in codes:

            result += codes[c]

        else:

            result += c

    return result

plain_text = input('Please, enter the sentence: ')

encrypted = encode(plain_text)

print('Encrypted sentence:', encrypted)
