Crypto

Crypto: ferramenta para criptografar e descriptografar mensagens.

"""Crypto: tool for encrypting and decrypting messages.

Exercises

1. Review 'ord' and 'chr' functions and letter-to-number mapping.
2. Explain what happens if you use key 26.
3. Find a way to decode a message without a key.
4. Encrypt numbers.
5. Make the encryption harder to decode.
