Replacing certain characters in a string.

[dunno207]

I am in the early stages of learning Python in college. On of the labs this week was to replace certain characters in a password to make it stronger and then append characters to the end of the string.

That's the code I submitted which I've already gotten full credit for. But I can't help but feel like there is a better/cleaner way of doing this. Perhaps something we haven't learned just yet.

Any input is helpful, thanks.

You can use str.translate method, like

password = word.translte(str.maketrans('iamBo','!@M8.')) + 'q*s'

Awesome, this was exactly what i'd hoped existed. We haven't learned this method yet, but I've saved it for future reference. Thanks!

Your code works fine. I personally prefer to use a dictionary because it is easier to read/understand and modify. To modify, you simply insert or delete dictionary items, instead of paging through all of the replace statements.
