How do I make a Raptor flowchart program that asks the user to enter a 10 character telephone number in the format XXX-XXX-XXXX, that makes the program display the telephone number with any alphabetic characters that appeared in the original translated to their numeric equivalent? The letters associated with the numbers are:

A, B, & C = 2
D, E, & F = 3
G, H, & I = 4
J, K, & L = 5
M, N, & O = 6
P, Q, R, & S = 7
T, U, & V = 8
W, X, Y, & Z = 9 For example, if the user enters 555-GET-FOOD the program should display: 555-438-3663. Sorry, I know this is a lot, but I really need help :-/, Thank You!

Did you get an answer for this? I am in the same boat...

To create a Raptor flowchart program that accomplishes the task you described, you can follow these steps:

1. Start by designing the flowchart layout with the necessary symbols like Start, Stop, Input/Output, and Process symbols.

2. Add an Input symbol to prompt the user to enter the telephone number. Label it with a suitable message like "Enter a 10-character telephone number (XXX-XXX-XXXX):".

3. Add an Assignment symbol next to the Input symbol and label it "OriginalNumber = Input".

4. Add a Process symbol and label it "TranslateNumber".

5. Inside the "TranslateNumber" process, use the following logic:

a. Initialize a new empty string variable called "TranslatedNumber".

b. Loop through each character in "OriginalNumber".

c. If the current character is an alphabetic character, translate it to its corresponding number using the mapping you provided in the question (e.g., using if-else statements or a switch-case statement in Raptor).

d. Concatenate the translated or original character to the "TranslatedNumber" variable.

6. Add an Output symbol next to the "TranslateNumber" process and label it "TranslatedNumber".

7. Connect the symbols as appropriate, ensuring the flow of execution follows the steps described above.

8. Finally, test your flowchart by running it and entering sample input, such as "555-GET-FOOD", to verify that the translated number is displayed correctly.

Remember, Raptor is a visual programming language, so these steps provide a generalized outline of how you can design the flowchart to solve the problem. You may adjust or modify the flowchart as per your preferences and available features in your Raptor programming environment.
