Convert numbers into corresponding letter using Python

Question

I was wondering if it is possible to convert numbers into their corresponding alphabetical value. So

1 -> a 2 -> b 

I was planning to make a program which lists all the alphabetical combinations possible for a length specified by a user.

See I know how to build the rest of the program except this! Any help would be wonderful.

Answer 1

Big Letter:

chr(ord('@')+number) 

1 -> A

2 -> B

...

Small Letter:

chr(ord('`')+number) 

1 -> a

2 -> b

...

Answer 2

import string for x, y in zip(range(1, 27), string.ascii_lowercase):     print(x, y) 

or

import string for x, y in enumerate(string.ascii_lowercase, 1):     print(x, y) 

or

for x, y in ((x + 1, chr(ord('a') + x)) for x in range(26)):     print(x, y) 

All of the solutions above output lowercase letters from English alphabet along with their position:

1 a ... 26 z 

You'd create a dictionary to access letters (values) by their position (keys) easily. For example:

import string d = dict(enumerate(string.ascii_lowercase, 1)) print(d[3]) # c
