# Caesar cipher module | |
# | |
# USAGE: | |
# ===== | |
# ```ruby | |
# my_var = Plaintext.new 'TOO MANY SECRETS' | |
# my_var.rotn # => "GBB ZNAL FRPERGF" | |
# my_var # => "TOO MANY SECRETS" | |
# ``` | |
# There is a bang method to make changes permanent: | |
# ```ruby | |
# my_var = Plaintext.new 'TOO MANY SECRETS' | |
# my_var.rotn! # => "GBB ZNAL FRPERGF" | |
# my_var # => "GBB ZNAL FRPERGF" | |
# ``` | |
# | |
# Parameters: | |
# ----------- | |
# 1. **amount**: The number of positions to jump inside the alphabet.<br> | |
# (defaults to `13`) | |
# ```ruby | |
# Plaintext.new('Caesar').rotn # => "Pnrfne" | |
# Plaintext.new('Caesar').rotn(3) # => "Fdhvdu" | |
# Plaintext.new('Caesar').rotn(0) # => "Caesar" | |
# Plaintext.new('Caesar').rotn(-3) # => "Zxbpxo" | |
# ``` | |
