Making Faces

Before there were emoji, there were emoticons, whereby text like :) was a happy face and text like :( was a sad face. Nowadays, programs tend to convert emoticons to emoji automatically!

In a file called faces.py, implement a function called convert that accepts a str as input and returns that same input with any :) converted to 🙂 (otherwise known as a slightly smiling face) and any :( converted to 🙁 (otherwise known as a slightly frowning face). All other text should be returned unchanged.

Then, in that same file, implement a function called main that prompts the user for input, calls convert on that input, and prints the result. You’re welcome, but not required, to prompt the user explicitly, as by passing a str of your own as an argument to input. Be sure to call main at the bottom of your file.

Tip

Recall that input returns a str, per input.
Recall that a str comes with quite a few methods, per string-methods.
An emoji is actually just a character, so you can quote it like any str, a la "😐". And you can copy and paste the emoji from this page into your own code as needed.

Before You Begin

Ensure you are in the root directory of the repository that you cloned to your machine.
Change directory to src/function_variables/ in your terminal window.
```
cd src/function_variables/
```
create or open the file faces.py
```
code faces.py
```
This is where you’ll write your program.

How to Test

Here’s how to test your code manually:

Run your program with python faces.py. Type Hello :) and press Enter. Your program should output:
```
Hello 🙂
```
Run your program with python faces.py. Type Goodbye :( and press Enter. Your program should output:
```
Goodbye 🙁
```
Run your program with python faces.py. Type Hello :) Goodbye :( and press Enter. Your program should output
```
Hello 🙂 Goodbye 🙁
```

You can execute the below to check your code using pytest from the root directory.

.\tests\function_variables\test_faces.py

A green output from running the test means it was successful. A red output means there is a bug in your code that you need to fix.

How to Submit

From github desktop or the command line, commit your changes and push them to your repository.

Codespaces

If you are using codespaces, you can commit your changes directly from the Codespace interface. Click on the Source Control icon in the left sidebar, then click on the "..." button and select "Commit to main". Enter a commit message and click "Commit".

Codespace terminal or your local terminal.

Note

You will need to have installed git-scm for this to work locally

At the /functions_variables $ prompt in your terminal:

git add -A

Add all changed files in the repository to be committed

git commit -m "your message here"

Commit all changes in the REPO with the comment “your message here“ note: If the file is not complete, adjust the comment to describes what is being committed

Note

Remember to replace "your message here" with a meaningful commit message that describes your changes.

git push

Push all changes to the repo.
