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

Demo

Before You Begin

Log into code.cs50.io, click on your terminal window, and execute cd by itself. You should find that your terminal window’s prompt resembles the below:

$

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 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:

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