//Method definition of action1337

public static String action1337(String current)

{

//Replace each L or l with a 1 (numeral one)

 current = current.replace('L', '1');

 current = current.replace('l', '1');

 

 //Replace each E or e with a 3 (numeral three)

 current = current.replace('E', '3');

 current = current.replace('e', '3');

 //Replace each T or t with a 7 (numeral seven)

 current = current.replace('T', '7');

 //Replace each O or o with a 0 (numeral zero)

 current = current.replace('O', '0');

 current = current.replace('o', '0');

 

//Replace each S or s with a $ (dollar sign)

 //return the string in reversed order
