Read / Write to binary file
Modify the program in order to allow the user to read / write the transmission (from form of spaces and equals signs) to a binary format (in order to reduce space taken to store)
C#
Delphi/Pascal
Java
Python
# These functions need to be added to relavent subroutines if support for a binary file is required:
# BinaryEncode result passed as parameter to BinaryWrite with filename, called from SendMorseCode (pass MorseCodeString to BinaryEncode)
# BinaryRead result (parameter is file name) passed as parameter to BinaryDecode, and the return is to be used as variable Transmission in GetTransmission()
# Python binary file handling reads / writes in bytes. Therefore, for optimum usage, we need to be making full use of each byte. Letting a space be a 0 and an equals sign be 1, each 8 characters from the currently supported text file become 1 byte. Leftmost character = first value in each byte, 8n th = last byte of array
def BinaryEncode(Message):
Bytes = []
Current = 128
Count = 0
for Character in Message:
if Current == 0.5:
Bytes.append(int(Count))
Count = 0
Current = 128
if Character == '=':
Count += Current
Current = Current / 2
if Count != 0:
Bytes.append(int(Count))
return bytes(Bytes) # base10 -> base2 value
def BinaryWrite(Bytes, FileName):
FileHandle = open(FileName, 'wb')
FileHandle.write(Bytes)
FileHandle.flush()
FileHandle.close()
def BinaryRead(FileName):
FileHandle = open(FileName, 'rb')
ByteValues = list(FileHandle.read()) # base2 -> base10 value
FileHandle.close()
return ByteValues
def BinaryDecode(Bytes):
Message = str()
for Byte in Bytes:
for BitValue in [128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1]:
if Byte >= BitValue:
Byte -= BitValue
Message += '='
else:
Message += ' '
return Message
# Example usage (using message from preliminary material
Bin = (BinaryEncode("=== = = === === = = === "))
BinaryWrite(Bin, 'binfile')
print(BinaryDecode(BinaryRead('binfile')))
VB.NET
Substitution Cipher
This question refers to the subroutines GetTransmission and ReceiveMorseCode. The question requires the creation of subroutines GetKey and DecryptTransmission.
The Skeleton Program is to be adapted so that messages encrypted with a substitution cipher can be received and decrypted. The method of decryption will be to apply a decryption key to the message.
In a substitution cipher, every character is replaced with another character. For example, every letter A could be substituted with the number 7.
The decryption key will be stored in a text file, consisting of 36 characters. The first 26 characters will represent the letters A – Z and the next 10 will represent the numbers from 0 – 9.
A new subroutine GetKey needs to be created, which will read and return the key from a file specified by the user. If no key is specified, the subroutine should return the key: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789. This key should be interpreted to mean that every character represents itself.
A new subroutine DecryptTransmission needs to be created, which will apply the decryption key to the transmission. It will be called by a new line in ReceiveMorseCode, to be inserted before print(PlainText):
PlainText = DecryptTransmission(PlainText).
C#
Delphi/Pascal
Java
Python
def ReceiveMorseCode(Dash, Letter, Dot):
PlainText = EMPTYSTRING
MorseCodeString = EMPTYSTRING
Transmission = GetTransmission()
LastChar = len(Transmission) - 1
i = 0
while i < LastChar:
i, CodedLetter = GetNextLetter(i, Transmission)
MorseCodeString = MorseCodeString + SPACE + CodedLetter
PlainTextLetter = Decode(CodedLetter, Dash, Letter, Dot)
PlainText = PlainText + PlainTextLetter
print(MorseCodeString)
PlainText = DecryptTransmission(PlainText)
print(PlainText)
def GetKey():
theline = ''
with open('keykey.txt', 'r') as decryptionkey:
for line in decryptionkey:
theline = line
return theline
def DecryptTransmission(gibberish):
keys = GetKey()
#print(keys)
keylst = []
for i in keys:
keylst.append(i)
actualword = list('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789')
decryptedmessage = ''
for lettertodecrypt in gibberish:
if lettertodecrypt in keys:
decryptedmessage += actualword[keylst.index(lettertodecrypt)]
elif lettertodecrypt == ' ':
decryptedmessage += ' '
else:
print('Invalid')
return decryptedmessage

Validation of a menu option
The program currently just prints the menu again when an incorrect option is input; add validation so the program prints a message when an invalid option is input.
