Problem Solving Challenge #1

Problem solving challenges are fun. They make use of one's problem solving skills and stimulate the programmer's need to challenge themselves.

Here we go

These 1151159511610110199114 numbers represent a word.

  • The word may only contain a-zA-Z_
  • The word is of size 8.

In this particular case the secret word was s_ecrets.

Write two functionsthat can encrypt an arbitrary string and return a string of numbers such as the one above. The program should also be able to take a string of numbers and return the original word.

Happy hacking!

Actually, still bored, so I improved my solution in a separate gist. Might want to delete my previous comment!
