by Matt tags: strings, formatting, cryptography

Summary

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. Examples atbash("apple") ➞ "zkkov" atbash("Hello world!") ➞ "Svool dliow!" atbash("Christmas is the 25th of December") ➞ "Xsirhgnzh r
