In this exercise, you’ll make a function that translate a word to leet-speak:

>>> translate_leet("Hi Balloonicorn")
'Hi B@1100nic0rn'

>>> translate_leet("Hackbright is the Shizzle")
'H@ckbrigh7 i5 7h3 5hizz13'

We’ve given you leet.py, which includes the stub of a translate_leet function:

leet.py
def translate_leet(phrase):
    """Translates input into "leet-speak"."""
