When documents (especially pretty old ones written with a typewriter), are digitised character recognition softwares often make mistakes. Your task is correct the errors in the digitised text. You only have to handle the following mistakes: S is misinterpreted as 5 O is misinterpreted as 0 I is misinterpreted as 1 The test cases contain numbers only by mistake. Solution Output Thoughts: I have used the replaceAll() string function to replace all 5s, 1s and 0s to S, I and O. And functional chaining to have a concise and readable code.
