Answer 1

RocketLover ,

a more efficient method (as requested by you) is as described below:

> a simple way to get this *character to number* mapping can be done by using the *ord()* function.
ord() takes a character as argument, and returns its unicode / ascii code.

ord('a') returns 97
ord('b') returns 98
...
> if *a* should get *1*, we can subtract 96 from the number returned by ord()

# the code implementation could be:
char = input()
temp = ord(char) - 96
print(temp)

> when we are using *input()* function, we do not need to use additionally the str() function.

> everything we input will be returned as *string* by default.

Answer 3

x=str(input())
if x == "a":
print("1")
else:
print(x)

#works only with lowercase if you input uppercase it wont work
#if input isnt a lowercase "a" it Will output the input
#hope it helps

Answer 4

Yeah,
x=input()
makes the same thing
