The maketrans() method creates a conversion table for character mapping. It maps each character in one string into the character at the same position in another string.
Example
#!/usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
intab = "this!"
outtab = "THIS?"
trantab = str.maketrans(intab, outtab)
str = "this is a example...!!!"
print(str.translate(trantab))
Output:
THIS IS a example...???
Syntax
str.maketrans(intab, outtab)
Parameters
| Name | Description |
| intab | A sequence of characters to be replaced in a string |
| outtab | A sequence of corresponding mapped characters |
Return Value
It returns a translation table with 1-to-1 mapping of each character to its translation.
