1.Write a function, called CreateDictionary that is given the name of the text file to be read. The function opens the given file, reads in data, and generates a dictionary. The dictionary key is the text abbreviation and the value is the English translation. For example, one entry in your dictionary will be, ‘l8’: ‘late’ because one of the rows in the txt file contains ‘l8’ and ‘late’.

Your function should have one input: the name of the file to open, and one return value: the dictionary. Test your function before moving on to the next step. You can do this by defining the function and then calling it in your .py file:

wordDictionary = CreateDictionary(filename)

2.Write a function Deslang(...) that takes two parameters, a string and a dictionary, and returns the deslanged string. Each word in the string will be replaced if it has an entry in the dictionary. Any word not in the dictionary should be copied to the results.

deslanged = Deslang(slang, wordDictionary)

For example, if the slang string is: “David, y r u l8”
your function should return: “David, why are you late”

3. Your main function in the .py file containing your functions, CreateDictionary, and Deslang, should do the following:

a. Call the CreateDictionary function.

b. Prompt the user for a text abbreviation and check if it is in the dictionary. If it is, print the English words associated with the abbreviation, otherwise print “Not Found”.

Your main must also allow the user to continue inputting abbreviations and printing the English meaning of those abbreviations until the user enters “quit”.

c. Prompt the user for an arbitrary number of text abbreviations, separated by a space, and print a string that displays the meaning of all abbreviations (by calling the Deslang function).

Your main must also allow the user to continue inputting sentences with abbreviations and printing the English meaning of those sentences without abbreviations until the user enters “quit”.

Explanation / Answer

Code:

def createDictionary(filename):
a = open(filename,"r")
b = a.readlines()
d = {}
for i in b:
c = i.split(",")
d[c[0]] = c[1][:-1]
return d
  
wordDictionary = createDictionary("input.txt")

def Deslang(slang,wordDictionary):
slangd = slang.split(" ")
for i in range(len(slangd)):
if slangd[i] in wordDictionary.keys():
slangd[i] = wordDictionary[slangd[i]]
else:
slangd[i] = slangd[i]
return " ".join(slangd)
  
while True:
slang = input("Please enter a text abbreviation:")
if(input == "quit"):
break
else:
result = Deslang(slang,wordDictionary)
print(result)
