The following code should be put into a file called encode.py using the text editor in JupyterLab:
letter_to_morse = {
'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':'--..',
'0':'-----', '1':'.----', '2':'..---', '3':'...--', '4':'....-',
'5':'.....', '6':'-....', '7':'--...', '8':'---..', '9':'----.', ' ':'/'
}
message = "please help"
# `morse` is a list which will eventually contain the
# strings for each morse code letter in the message.
morse = []
for letter in message:
morse_letter = letter_to_morse[letter]
morse.append(morse_letter)
# We need to join together Morse code letters with spaces
morse_message = " ".join(morse)
print(f"Incoming message: {message}")
print(f" Morse encoded: {morse_message}")
Once that code is in the file and the file has been saved, run the code by typing the following in the Terminal and pressing Enter:
python encode.py
