Alphabetic Telephone Number Translator
Many companies use telephone numbers like 555-GET-FOOD so the number is easier for their customers to remember. On a standard telephone, the alphabetic letters are mapped to numbers in the following fashion:
A, B, and C = 2
D, E, and F = 3
G, H, and I = 4
J, K, and L = 5
M, N, and O = 6
P, Q, R, and S = 7
T, U, and V = 8
W, X, Y, and Z = 9
Design a program that asks the user to enter a 10-character telephone number in the format XXX-XXX-XXXX. The program should display the telephone number with any alphabetic characters that appeared in the original translated to their numeric equivalent. For example, if the user enters 555-GET-FOOD the program should display 555-438-3663.
function main() {
var phoneNumber;
// Prompt the user to enter a 10 character alphanumeric telephone number.
character = (prompt("Enter an alphanumeric telephone number.The number you "));
character = (prompt("enter should be formatted as XXX-XXX-XXXX."));
phoneNumber = parsefloat(character);
// If the input is an alphanumeric telephone number and properly formatted translate it to the numeric equivalent.
if (isValidFormat(phoneNumber));
character(phoneNumber);
alert("The numeric equivalent number is" + phoneNumber);
else {
alert("That number is not alphanumeric.");
} // end If
}
// The isValidFormat function accepts a string argument
// and determines whether it is a US alphanumeric telephone number and properly formatted
// in the following manner:
// XXX-XXX-XXXX
// If the argument is properly formatted, the function
// returns True, otherwise False.
function isValidFormat(str) {
// Local variable to indicate valid format
var valid;
// Determine whether str is properly formatted.
if (length(str) == 12 && str[0] == "0" && str[4] == "-" && str[8] == "-");
valid = true;
else {
valid = false;
} // end If
// Return the value of valid.
return valid;
}
function convert(input) {
var inputlength = input.length;
input = input.toLowerCase();
var phoneNumber = "";
for (i = 0; i < inputlength; i++) {
