This Python program converts a user input string into a list of NATO phonetic code words using the NATO phonetic alphabet data stored in a CSV file. It utilizes the pandas library to read the CSV data into a dictionary. Requirements
Python 3.x
pandas library
Clone or download this repository to your local machine.
Install the required pandas library by running pip install pandas in your terminal.
Run the main.py file using your Python interpreter.
Enter a word that you want to convert into NATO phonetic code words when prompted.
The program will output a list of NATO phonetic code words corresponding to the letters in the input word.
Enter the word that has to be converted into a nato_phonetic word list: Hello Output: ['Hotel', 'Echo', 'Lima', 'Lima', 'Oscar']
The program reads the NATO phonetic alphabet data stored in a CSV file using pandas.
A dictionary comprehension is used to create a dictionary that maps each letter to its corresponding NATO phonetic code word.
Dictionary comprehension:
nato_dictionary = {row.letter: row.code for (index, row) in nato_data.iterrows()}The user is prompted to input a word that they want to convert into NATO phonetic code words.
The input word is converted to uppercase and split into a list of individual characters.
A list comprehension is used to convert each character in the list to its corresponding NATO phonetic code word using the dictionary created in step 2.
List comprehension:
nato_list = [nato_dictionary[letter] for letter in word]The resulting list of NATO phonetic code words is printed to the console.
