Monday's Programming Question

Last week the challenge was to make a decoding program. It would seem silly not to make the encoder that goes with it.

Here's the same letter switch code:

Decoded

a

b

c

d

e

f

g

h

i

j

k

l

m

Encoded

p

r

j

i

t

g

c

o

x

b

s

y

n

Decoded

n

o

p

q

r

s

t

u

v

w

x

y

z

Encoded

w

d

e

m

h

u

v

l

z

f

q

k

a

For example, the name "bob" becomes "rdr" (i.e., b=r, o=d, b=r). Don't worry about capital letters, just assume that all of the text is in lowercase.

This week write an encoder along the same principles of the decoder, except I want to highlight the difference between using a normal for loop and a "for each" loop. Your program should take a line of text entered by the user, use a combination of a for each loop and switch statement to encode it, and finally display the encoded line to the user.

The question is can your program encode this line?
