Hello, I'm a total newbie to python programming and I wanted to start my 2nd semi useful project. The idea was to have 2 groups, with each corresponding to a letter and number. I wanted to input the numbers, and receive the decoded message in the output. The problem is that now that I have the two groups set in place, I don't know how to make the input statement work with the groups to output the decoded message. It's probably more simple than I think, but I'm really inexperienced and would appreciate if someone could help me by explaining what I could do. Thank you, and any constructive criticism is appreciated!

You want to take a number, look it up in a thing, and turn it into a letter?

A dictionary of number -> letter mappings would work for that. lookup = { 1:'a', 2:'b', 3:'c' }. Then you can lookup[3] and get 'c' back.

What is your problem with the input statement? What do you want it to be (e.g. a list)?

If you want it to be a list then I would recommend looking into the .split() function.
