Sometimes, while working with Python, we can have problems in security or gaming domain, in which we need to create certain cyphers, they can be different types of. This includes Index Mapping Cypher in which we pass a string of integers and we get element characters in that order. Lets discuss certain ways to construct this.
Method #1 : Using loop
This is brute force manner in which this can be constructed. In this, we manually check for each character and map it as index number to value in string.
# Python3 code to demonstrate working of # Index Mapping Cypher # Using loop # initializing stringtest_str = "geeksforgeeks" # printing original stringprint("The original string is : " + test_str) # initializing cypher string cyp_str = "53410" # Index Mapping Cypher # Using loopres = ""temp = [int(idx) for idx in cyp_str]for ele in temp: res += test_str[ele] # printing result print("The deciphered value string : " + str(res)) |
The original string is : geeksforgeeks The deciphered value string : fkseg
Method #2 : Using join() + loop
The combination of above functions can also be used to solve this problem. In this, we reduce a final loop by using join() to construct decipher string.
# Python3 code to demonstrate working of # Index Mapping Cypher # Using loop + join() # initializing stringtest_str = "geeksforgeeks" # printing original stringprint("The original string is : " + test_str) # initializing cypher string cyp_str = "53410" # Index Mapping Cypher # Using loop + join()res = [test_str[int(idx)] for idx in cyp_str]res = ''.join(res) # printing result print("The deciphered value string : " + str(res)) |
The original string is : geeksforgeeks The deciphered value string : fkseg
