# Rotational Cipher Create an implementation of the rotational cipher, also sometimes called the Caesar cipher. The Caesar cipher is a simple shift cipher that relies on transposing all the letters in the alphabet using an integer key between `0` and `26`. Using a key of `0` or `26` will always yield the same output due to modular arithmetic. The letter is shifted for as many values as the value of the key. The general notation for rotational ciphers is `ROT + `. The most commonly used rotational cipher is `ROT13`. A `ROT13` on the Latin alphabet would be as follows: ```text Plain: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz Cipher: nopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklm ``` It is stronger than the Atbash cipher because it has 27 possible keys, and 25 usable keys. Ciphertext is written out in the same formatting as the input including spaces and punctuation. ## Examples - ROT5 `omg` gives `trl` - ROT0 `c` gives `c` - ROT26 `Cool` gives `Cool` - ROT13 `The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.` gives `Gur dhvpx oebja sbk whzcf bire gur ynml qbt.` - ROT13 `Gur dhvpx oebja sbk whzcf bire gur ynml qbt.` gives `The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.` ## Installation See [this guide](https://github.com/exercism/xr/blob/master/docs/INSTALLATION.md) for instructions on how to setup your local R environment. ## How to implement your solution In each problem folder, there is a file named `.R` containing a function that returns a `NULL` value. Place your implementation inside the body of the function. ## How to run tests Inside of RStudio, simply execute the `test_.R` script. This can be conveniently done with [testthat's `auto_test` function](https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/testthat/topics/auto_test). Because exercism code and tests are in the same folder, use this same path for both `code_path` and `test_path` parameters. On the command-line, you can also run `Rscript test_.R`. ## Source Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar_cipher](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar_cipher) ## Submitting Incomplete Solutions It's possible to submit an incomplete solution so you can see how others have completed the exercise.
