CSSE 120 — Introduction to Software Development

Homework 16

Reminder: for each class session and associated homework:

You do the Reading Quiz on Angel.
You do all other work in Eclipse in the project that you checked out for that session.
You turn in your Eclipse work by committing that project.

There is no reading or quiz due next session.

Solo Programming: Complete these tasks in the 16-Dictionaries project that you checked out in class.

(15 points) Finish the Blackjack with dictionaries exercise that we started in class. Commit your solution to your individual SVN repository.
(25 points) Texting Translator Granny just got a cell phone, and wants you to text her to keep her up to date. However, she doesn't know any standard texting abbreviations, and the thought of having to write everything out is both repulsive and expensive!

Create a module called textExpander.py in the 16-Dictionaries project. Write a program in that module that Granny could use to translate from text abbreviations to Granny-speak.
The program should prompt the user to enter a sentence. As each sentence is entered, it expands any texting abbreviations in the sentence into full words. You should store the abbreviations and full words in a dictionary. Your dictionary should include at least these:

r are

k okay

lol laugh out loud

imo in my opinion

You don't need to handle punctuation, and your output need not preserve the exact whitespace entered, as shown:

Be sure to commit your code to SVN when you’re finished, or more frequently.
