Encryption - Substitution Cipher
If you have completed the previous Caesar Cipher question, you might have to try a more advanced cipher
As the name hints, this simply involves substituting/swapping different characters
For example, let's say we generate a mapping like below. The "<->" symbol I used can be interpreted as "maps to" i.e. "a maps to 7" and "7 maps to a"
a <-> 7 b <-> T c <-> @
You should first randomly generate these mappings for the printable extended ASCII characters (range 32 to 255)
Using the above mappings, the expected functionality would be
Examples:
encrypt("abc") would return "7T@"
decrypt("7T@") would return "abc"
Extension:
Nothing is stopping you going beyond extended ASCII - try the range 32 to 130,000
