/** * @function caesarsCipher * @description - In cryptography, a Caesar cipher, also known as Caesar's cipher, the shift cipher, Caesar's code or Caesar shift, is one of the simplest and most widely known encryption techniques. It is a type of substitution cipher in which each letter in the plaintext is replaced by a letter some fixed number of positions down the alphabet. For example, with a left shift of 3, D would be replaced by A, E would become B, and so on. The method is named after Julius Caesar, who used it in his private correspondence. * @see - [wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar_cipher) * @param {string} str - string to be encrypted * @param {number} rotation - the number of rotation, expect real number ( > 0) * @return {string} - decrypted string */ const caesarCipher = (str, rotation) => { if (typeof str !== 'string' || !Number.isInteger(rotation) || rotation < 0) { throw new TypeError('Arguments are invalid') } const alphabets = new Array(26) .fill() .map((_, index) => String.fromCharCode(97 + index)) // generate all lower alphabets array a-z const cipherMap = alphabets.reduce( (map, char, index) => map.set(char, alphabets[(rotation + index) % 26]), new Map() ) return str.replace(/[a-z]/gi, (char) => { if (/[A-Z]/.test(char)) { return cipherMap.get(char.toLowerCase()).toUpperCase() } return cipherMap.get(char) }) } export default caesarCipher
