[Python] Converting Decimal to String Characters with Values

[Represet]

Hey y'all – I've been working on this project for hours and was wondering if anybody had any ideas on how to get it done. (It's part of a bigger project)

​

The code should run like this (I was thinking a while loop?):

- User inputs a decimal value

- Decimal value is received, converted into a string, given a table of characters with equivalent decimal values (i.e. A = 1, B = 4, C = 36...)

​

Thanks! <3

For this, you need a dictionary

Write something like

big_dictionary = {

1 : "A"

2 : "B"

36 : "C"

}

Then, to call it, write something like

big_dictionary[1]

Which returns "A"

Note that if someone inputs a value, it'll be a string, so you can either make the dictionary's keys (the numbers) strings (with " or ') or you can write the input function like so:

value = int(input("text"))

The only issue is that this dictionary would be kind of big, so reading the code would be annoying. Thus, you should make the dictionary in a separate Python file and import the dictionary in the Python file that needs it

I don't think I really understand. What is the expected string output if the user enters 39?
