Lab # 13 Handy Application

Translating text messaging to English

This elective assignment is worth 20 points. Don't worry about the fact that it may say "0 points possible." Do include a statement in your submission file header to let me know what lab assignment you'd like this optional one to replace.

/* Please replace: */

This is an optional assignment that can be used to swap out a low lab score.

Understand the Application

In this optional lab you will create a program that will translate a single line of text from text messaging abbreviations to English.

The Program Spec

Write a program that extracts abbreviations and their corresponding English phrases from a file and builds a translation mapping. Translate a single abbreviation at a time using the translation map provided in the file testabbrev. If the abbreviation ends with a punctuation mark, have it remain as part of the translation.

Deliverable: yournameLab13.py Your source code solution and a copy of the run pasted into your source submission file. Be sure to comment out your run so that your .py file will still run in the grader test bed.

Test Run Requirements:

Here are some other tips and requirements:

1. Run at least 5 test cases.

2. Include at least one test case that is not an abbreviation.

3. Tell me in your commented program header file which lab youd like this one to replace.

4. Note: No late option available on this optional lab assignment.
