# 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.` ## Rust Installation Refer to the [exercism help page][help-page] for Rust installation and learning resources. ## Writing the Code Execute the tests with: ```bash $ cargo test ``` All but the first test have been ignored. After you get the first test to pass, open the tests source file wich is located in the `tests` directory and remove the `#[ignore]` flag from the next test and get the tests to pass again. Each separate test is a function with `#[test]` flag above it. Continue, until you pass every test. If you wish to run all tests without editing the tests source file, use: ```bash $ cargo test -- --ignored ``` To run a specific test, for example `some_test`, you can use: ```bash $ cargo test some_test ``` If the specfic test is ignored use: ```bash $ cargo test some_test -- --ignored ``` To learn more about Rust tests refer to the [online test documentation][rust-tests] Make sure to read the [Modules](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/second-edition/ch07-00-modules.html) chapter if you haven't already, it will help you with organizing your files. ## Feedback, Issues, Pull Requests The [exercism/rust](https://github.com/exercism/rust) repository on GitHub is the home for all of the Rust exercises.
