This problem has a difficulty of 25

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) developed a system in the 1950s so that critical combinations of letters and numbers can be pronounced and understood by those exchanging voice messages by radio or telephone regardless of language or quality of the communication channel. Today it is widely used and known as the phonetic alphabet, the US Army alphabet, ICAO alphabet, NATO alphabet, or spelling alphabet. We probably hear it most in military applications or in movies. It is made up of 26 words that are assigned to the 26 letters of the English alphabet as follows:


Your application should convert a string of text into its phonetic alphabet code.
