HomeWork 1: Tweet to Leet

For the first homework you will implement a simple twitter message to Leet translator. You will need to use the String class (Chapter 2) and if-else statements (Chapter 3) which we will cover the week of Jan. 16. Your program will ask the user for a tweet, change all the characters in the tweet to lower case, then it will print out that tweet but translated to Leet using the substitutions below.

Replace this	with this
and	&
a	4
b	8
e	3
g	6
l	1
o	0
s	5
t	7
z	2

The message can also contain up to one hash tag. A hash tag starts with a # then some non-space characters, then ends with a space. So #hello is a hashtag but # by itself is just a #. Your program will find and print out this hash tag, if there. Also, the hashtag should not be changed into Leet. You can assume that there is at most 1 hash mark in the message the user types in.

Finally, you will print out the length of the tweet and if it is more than 140 characters you will print out an error message.

Below are some examples.

I will translate your tweet to Leet.
Enter your tweet:Hi there! Just a simple tweet to get started.
