Hello,
I made a function that takes a word list (one word per line, text file)
and searches for all the words in the list that are 'shifts' of
eachother. 'abc' shifted 1 is 'bcd'
Please take a look and tell me if this is a viable solution.
def shift(word, amt):
ans = ''
for letter in word:
ans = ans + chr((ord(letter) - ord('a') + amt) % 26 + ord('a'))
return ans
def fileshift(x):
fin = open(x)
d = {}
for line in fin:
d[line.strip()] = [1]
for i in range(1, 26):
ite = shift(line.strip(), i)
if ite in d:
print ite
Any tips/suggestions/critiques greatly appreciated.. I'm trying to
teach myself Python (and still beginning) and would love any helpful
info.
thanks!
