Thumbs up for the old school

If 44-33-555-555-666 is hello and 9-666-777-555-3 is world, what is:

9-33-0-2-777-33-0-3-33-888-33-555-666-7-33-777-7777 = ???

Can you do an encoder/decoder for this way of writing?

"W": 9,
"X": 99,
"Y": 999,
"Z": 9999,

}

string = input("Enter a string: ")

output = []
for l in string:
try:
code = key[l.upper()]
except KeyError:
code = "?"
output.append(code)

print("-".join(str(x) for x in output))

Love the lazy approach of not trying to detect the order in the string, but use a lookup table instead :)

it works 🤷‍♂️

Here is (verbose) programmatic version 😀 (no UI)
