This is a reverse coding challenge. Normally you're given explicit directions with how to create a function. Here, you must generate your own function to satisfy the relationship between the inputs and outputs.
Your task is to create a function that, when fed the inputs below, produce the sample outputs shown.
"hello" ➞ [4, 1, 3, 3, 1]
"maybe" ➞ [4, 2, 1, 3, 1]
"hopeless" ➞ [0, 7, 0, 5, 4, 5, 3, 3]
"higher" ➞ [2, 3, 1, 2, 5, 0]
"movement" ➞ [5, 7, 6, 5, 5, 5, 6, 4]
If you get stuck, see Comments for a hint.
