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

Write a program that asks the user to enter a 10-character telephone number in the format XXX-XXX-XXXX. Should define a function to convert a character to digit number. The application 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 application should display 555-438-3663.

Sample output:

Enter the telephone number in the format XXX-XXX-XXXX like 123-FOOBAAR: 716-SBU-COMP The phone number is 716-728-2667
