 The affine cipher is a type of monoalphabetic substitution cipher.
 Each character is mapped to its numeric equivalent, encrypted with a mathematical function and then converted to the letter relating to its new numeric value.
-Although all monoalphabetic ciphers are weak, the affine cipher is much stronger than the atbash cipher, because it has many more keys.

+Create an implementation of the Atbash cipher, an ancient encryption system created in the Middle East.
 
 The Atbash cipher is a simple substitution cipher that relies on transposing all the letters in the alphabet such that the resulting alphabet is backwards.
 The first letter is replaced with the last letter, the second with the second-last, and so on.

+
+> Dear Mathematician,
+>
+> I need your help.
+> I am designing a device that relies on the unique properties of Pythagorean triplets — sets of three integers that satisfy the equation a² + b² = c².
+> This device will revolutionize navigation, but for it to work, I must program it with every possible triplet where the sum of a, b, and c equals a specific number, N.
+> Calculating these triplets by hand would take me years, but I hear you are more than up to the task.

+> Time is of the essence.
+> The future of my invention — and perhaps even the future of mathematical innovation — rests on your ability to solve this problem.

+
+The journey will be very long.
+To make the batteries last as long as possible, we had to make our rocket's onboard computer very power efficient.
