Problem 3019. Calculator spelling - Letters to Numbers

Difficulty:Rate

Using the numbers on a calculator, and rotating the display 180 degrees, many words can be spelled. In particular, the following numbers can characterize the following letters:

  • 0 = O
  • 1 = I
  • 2 = Z
  • 3 = E
  • 4 = h
  • 5 = S
  • 6 = g
  • 7 = L
  • 8 = B

There are a few other options, but we'll stick with these. If the word has a trailing O, the number will need a decimal point to produce a leading zero. Write a function that takes a word (upside down) as input and returns the number entered into the calculator.
