We've already seen too many threads about fizzbuzz. Let's

alphabet = ["a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k","l","m","n","o","p", "q","r","s","t","u","v","w","x","y","z"]

word = input("Enter a word: ")
new_word = []

for letter in word:
  if letter.lower() in alphabet:
    old_letter = letter.lower()
    position = alphabet.index(old_letter)
    new_letter = alphabet[(25 - position)]
    new_word.append(new_letter)
  else:
    new_word.append(letter)
new = "".join(new_word)
print(new)

Is this bait?

In Ruby it's:

"atbash this cool string".reverse

And if you want to make it more elaborated, you can do this:

def atbash me
  puts me.chars.map {|i| (i >= 'a' && i <= 'z') ? (219 - i.ord).chr : i}.join
end

atbash "abc xyz"

Am I hired?

The second solution is correct.
The first one is not because it reverses the string itself, it doesn't reverse the alphabet

yeah we don't need your racist, misogynistic trumpet stuff here thank you very much

Oh I see, so "ab" becomes "zy", not "ba"..

>Having to type out the alphabet

Ew, no thanks. Surely it'd be easier to use the < and > comparison operators.
Also, I'm pretty sure Python lets you append strings, what's this jiggery-fuckery with appending an array just to turn it into a string?

I'm a 4th year CS student and i think i did pretty good

def atbash(word):
    a, z = ord('a'), ord('z')
    return ''.join([chr(z-ord(l)+a) for l in word.lower()])

Lowercase only, but you get the idea.

Here's my idea. It's only lowercase and can't cope with blanks, though..

def atbash(it):
  abc = list(map(chr, range(97, 123)))[::-1]
  return "".join([abc[ord(i)-97] for i in it])

print(atbash("aabbcc"))
