Appending and Replacing String Text

Question

I'm currently in a Python Scripting course and I'm struggling with a lab. This is the prompt: Many user-created passwords are simple and easy to guess. Write a program that takes a simple password and makes it stronger by replacing characters using the key below, and by appending "q*s" to the end of the input string.

i becomes ! a becomes @ m becomes M B becomes 8 o becomes .

Ex: If the input is: mypassword the output is: [email protected]*s

My Issue: I can't figure out how to add the "qs" at the end of the new password so instead of it being [email protected]*s, my code is running [email protected]

I've managed to get this:

word = input()
password = ''

for character in word: 

    if(character=='i'):
        password += '!'
    
    elif(character=='a'): 
        password += '@'
        
    elif(character=='m'): 
        password += 'M'
        
    elif(character=='B'): 
        password += '8'
        
    elif(character=='o'):
        password += '.'
        
    else:
        password += character


print(password)

I'm just wondering why there's like 3 identical answers all posted at different times. — DevLounge

Just before you print the password, add password += 'q*s', outside of the for loop.

This will add the q*s after all other characters have been processed.

after your for-loop, you can add:

password += 'q*s'
