## scytale_cipher
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Instructions
|
||
|
|
||
|
Create a **function** which decode a scytale cipher (also known as spartan cipher).
|
||
|
|
||
|
In practice, it is represented by a strip wrapped around a cylinder. The message is written across the loops of the strip (not along the strip). The message becomes *coded* if the radius of the cylinder changes, or the strip is removed from the cylinder.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Your function will receive a `String` representing the ciphered message, and a `u32` representing the number of letters by turn of the strip around the cylinder.
|
||
|
|
||
|
> If the ciphered message is empty or the letters per turn are 0 the function will return `None`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Example
|
||
|
|
||
|
**letters_per_turn 2:** `"scytale Code"` -> `"sec yCtoadle"`
|
||
|
|
||
|
```console
|
||
|
--------------------------------
|
||
|
|s| |c| |y| |t| |a| |l|
|
||
|
|e| | | |C| |o| |d| |e|
|
||
|
--------------------------------
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
**letters_per_turn 4:** `"scytale Code"` -> `"steoca dylCe"`
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
```console
|
||
|
------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|s| |c| |y|
|
||
|
|t| |a| |l|
|
||
|
|e| | | |C|
|
||
|
|o| |d| |e|
|
||
|
------------------------------------------
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Expected Functions
|
||
|
|
||
|
```rust
|
||
|
pub fn scytale_decoder(s: String, letters_per_turn: u32) -> Option<String> {
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
Here is a program to test your function
|
||
|
|
||
|
```rust
|
||
|
fn main() {
|
||
|
println!("\"sec yCtoadle\" size=2 -> {:?}",
|
||
|
scytale_decoder("sec yCtoadle".to_string(), 2));
|
||
|
|
||
|
println!("\"steoca dylCe\" size=4 -> {:?}",
|
||
|
scytale_decoder("steoca dylCe".to_string(), 4));
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
And its output
|
||
|
|
||
|
```console
|
||
|
$ cargo run
|
||
|
"sec yCtoadle" size=2 -> Some("scytale Code")
|
||
|
"steoca dylCe" size=4 -> Some("scytale Code")
|
||
|
$
|
||
|
```
