Playback Speed

Some people have a habit of lecturing speaking rather quickly, and it’d be nice to slow them down, a la YouTube’s 0.75 playback speed, or even by having them pause between words.

In a file called playback.py, implement a program in Python that prompts the user for input and then outputs that same input, replacing each space with ... (i.e., three periods).

Hints

• Recall that input returns a str, per https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#input.
• Recall that a str comes with quite a few methods, per https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#string-methods.

Before You Begin

From the root of your repository execute cd 0-FunctionsVariables So your current working directory is ...

	/0-FunctionsVariables $:

Next execute

	`mkdir playback`

to make a folder called playback in your codespace.

Then execute

	`cd playback`

to change directories into that folder. You should now see your terminal prompt as /0-FunctionsVariables/playback $. You can now execute

	`code playback.py`

to make a file called playback.py where you’ll write your program.

How to Test

Here’s how to test your code manually. At the playback/ $ prompt in your terminal: :

1. Run your program with python playback.py. Type This is CS50 and press Enter. Your program should output:

    This...is...CS50

2. Run your program with python playback.py. Type This is our week on functions and press Enter. Your program should output:

    This...is...our...week...on...functions

3. Run your program with python playback.py. Type Let's implement a function called hello and press Enter. Your program should output:

    Let's...implement...a...function...called...hello

Commit your program to GITHUB

At the /0-FunctionsVariables/playback $ prompt in your terminal:

	git add -A 

Add all changed files in the repository to be committed

	`git commit -m “Upload completed playback.py“`

Commit all changes in the REPO with the comment “Upload completed playback.py“ note: If the file is not complete, adjust the comment to describes what is being commited

	`git push` 

Push all changes to the REPO
