cipher

Instructions

The Atbash cipher is an encryption method in which each letter of a word is replaced by its mirror letter in the alphabet.

Your objective is to create a function called cipher which must return a Result wrapped in an Option, this result should return either a boolean or an Error based on the structure CipherError. This structure should be the error type for the function cipher.

This function should compare the original String with the ciphered String. It should return true if the cipher is correct. If the cipher is incorrect it should return the error type CipherErr with a boolean and the expected atbash cipher String.

Notions

Expected Function and structure


#[derive(Debug, Clone, Eq, PartialEq)]
pub struct CipherError {
    // expected public fields
}
impl CipherError {
    pub fn new(validation: bool, expected: String) -> CipherError {

    }
}
pub fn cipher(original: &str, ciphered: &str) -> Option<Result<bool, CipherError>> {

}

Usage

Here is a program to test your function:

use cipher::*;

fn main() {
    println!("{:?}", cipher("1Hello 2world!", "1Svool 2dliow!"));
    println!("{:?}", cipher("1Hello 2world!", "svool"));
    println!("{:?}", cipher("", "svool"));
}

And its output:

$ cargo run
Some(Ok(true))
Some(Err(CipherError { validation: false, expected: "1Svool 2dliow!" }))
None
$
