Given a string S, c1 and c2. Replace character c1 with c2 and c2 with c1.
Examples:
Input : str = 'grrksfoegrrks'
c1 = e, c2 = r
Output : geeksforgeeks
Input : str = 'ratul'
c1 = t, c2 = h
Output : rahul
We have existing solution for this problem in C++ please refer Replace a character c1 with c2 and c2 with c1 in a string S link. We will solve this problem quickly in Python using Lambda expression and map() function. We will create a lambda expression where character c1 in string will be replaced by c2 and c2 will be replaced by c1 and other will remain same, then we will map this expression on each character of string and will get updated string.
# Function to replace a character c1 with c2 # and c2 with c1 in a string S def replaceChars(input,c1,c2): # create lambda to replace c1 with c2, c2 # with c1 and other will remain same # expression will be like "lambda x: # x if (x!=c1 and x!=c2) else c1 if (x==c2) else c2" # and map it onto each character of string newChars = map(lambda x: x if (x!=c1 and x!=c2) else \ c1 if (x==c2) else c2,input) # now join each character without space # to print resultant string print (''.join(newChars)) # Driver program if __name__ == "__main__": input = 'grrksfoegrrks' c1 = 'e' c2 = 'r' replaceChars(input,c1,c2) |
