The challenge
The shortest code by character count, that will input a string using only alphabetical characters (upper and lower case), numbers, commas, periods and question mark, and returns a representation of the string in Morse code.
The Morse code output should consist of a dash (-
, ascii 0x2D) for a long beep (aka 'dah') and a dot (.
, ascii 0x2E) for short beep (aka 'dit').
Each letter should be separated by a space (' '
, ascii 0x20), and each word should be separated by a forward slash (/
, ascii 0x2F).
