/*  The Atbash cipher is an encryption method in which each letter 
 *  of a word is replaced with its "mirror" letter in the alphabet: 
 *  A <=> Z; B <=> Y; C <=> X; etc.
 *  Create a function that takes a string and applies the Atbash cipher to it.
 *  Capitalisation should be retained.
 *  Non-alphabetic characters should not be altered.
