Python: Hash a word

Python Basic: Exercise-74 with Solution

Word Hasher

Write a Python program to hash a word.

Sample Solution-1:

Python Code:

# Create a list that maps characters to their Soundex codes.
soundex = [0, 1, 2, 3, 0, 1, 2, 0, 0, 2, 2, 4, 5, 5, 0, 1, 2, 6, 2, 3, 0, 1, 0, 2, 0, 2]

# Prompt the user to input the word to be hashed.
word = input("Input the word to be hashed: ")

# Convert the input word to uppercase.
word = word.upper()

# Initialize the coded word with the first character of the input word.
coded = word[0]

# Iterate over the remaining characters in the word to calculate the Soundex code.
for a in word[1:len(word)]:
    # Calculate the index for the Soundex list based on the character's ASCII code.
    i = 65 - ord(a)
    coded = coded + str(soundex[i])

# Print a blank line.
print()

# Display the coded word.
print("The coded word is: " + coded)

# Print a blank line.
print()

Sample Output:

Input the word be hashed: w3r                                                                                 
                                                                                                              
The coded word is: W02
