You decide you need to make your passwords more secure. You come up with a simple algorithm to transform your old string passwords into new strings. Here you'll implement that algorithm.

Write a program which makes the following character replacements in a string:

  • Any occurence of `'o'` should become `'0'`.
  • Any occurence of `'e'` should become `'3'`
  • Any occurence of `'i'` should become `'!'` You should not replace any other characters (even, for example, uppercase `'O'`, `'E'`, or `'I'` characters).1

    The first line of your program should set up a variable password to hold the input string. For example:

    password = 'iLoveDogs123'

    Your program should print the resulting new password. For example, it would print the following string:

    '!L0v3D0gs123'

    Once you've tested your code by hand, upload your file for testing:
