| - * The Atbash cipher is a simple substitution cipher that replaces each letter |
5 |
| - * in the alphabet with its reverse. |
6 |
| - * For example, 'A' becomes 'Z', 'B' becomes 'Y', and so on. It works |
7 |
| - * identically for both uppercase and lowercase letters. |
8 |
| - * It's a symmetric cipher, meaning applying it twice returns the original text. |
9 |
| - * Hence, the encrypting and the decrypting functions are identical |

| 4 | + * The Atbash cipher is a classic substitution cipher that substitutes each letter |
| 5 | + * with its opposite letter in the alphabet. |
| 6 | + * |
| 7 | + * For example: |
| 8 | + * - 'A' becomes 'Z', 'B' becomes 'Y', 'C' becomes 'X', and so on. |
| 9 | + * - Similarly, 'a' becomes 'z', 'b' becomes 'y', and so on. |
| 10 | + * |
| 11 | + * The cipher works identically for both uppercase and lowercase letters. |
| 12 | + * Non-alphabetical characters remain unchanged in the output. |
| 13 | + * |
| 14 | + * This cipher is symmetric, meaning that applying the cipher twice will return |
| 15 | + * the original text. Therefore, the same function is used for both encryption and decryption. |
| 16 | + * |
| 17 | + * <p>Usage Example:</p> |
| 18 | + * <pre> |
| 19 | + * AtbashCipher cipher = new AtbashCipher("Hello World!"); |
| 20 | + * String encrypted = cipher.convert(); // Output: "Svool Dliow!" |
| 21 | + * </pre> |
