Question

please help, language is python

You’re creating a secret code to share with your friends such that every word should be written with the second and last letters swapped.

Write a function called encode that receives a string (input) and prints out another string with the second and last letters swapped.

Example function calls:

encode(secret) # should print “the code for secret is stcree”

encode(city) # should print “the code for city is cyti”

Answer 1

def encode(s):
    result = s
    if len(s) >= 2:
        result = s[:1] + s[-1] + s[2:-1] + s[1]
    print("the code for", s, "is", result)


encode("secret")
encode("city")
