Dear Michael
Overall I see a few problems.
0. Functions should return values. Not print them
1. Why use enumerate? The code is not using the index anyway
2. The following line appears wrong.
new_output = ' '.join(user_input)
3. This line has a very buggy possibility.

Hi list,
I'm trying to understand how to use a class-level dictionary to act as a switch
for class methods. In the contrived example below, I have the statistic name
as the key and the class method as the value.

Do you mean backspace specifically or do you really mean backslash?
In other words are you looking for a use of literal backspaces

I suspect ** will be faster since it doesn't have the function
call overhead.
But I haven't tried timing it. Feel free to do some tests and find out.
Let us know how you get on!
