The affine cipher is a type of monoalphabetic substitution cipher.
Each character is mapped to its numeric equivalent, encrypted with a mathematical function and then converted to the letter relating to its new numeric value.
Although all monoalphabetic ciphers are weak, the affine cipher is much stronger than the atbash cipher, because it has many more keys.

# Instructions

Create an implementation of the atbash cipher, an ancient encryption system created in the Middle East.
Create an implementation of the Atbash cipher, an ancient encryption system created in the Middle East.

The Atbash cipher is a simple substitution cipher that relies on transposing all the letters in the alphabet such that the resulting alphabet is backwards.
The first letter is replaced with the last letter, the second with the second-last, and so on.

# Instructions

A complex number is a number in the form `a + b * i` where `a` and `b` are real and `i` satisfies `i^2 = -1`.
A **complex number** is expressed in the form `z = a + b * i`, where:

`a` is called the real part and `b` is called the imaginary part of `z`.
The conjugate of the number `a + b * i` is the number `a - b * i`.
The absolute value of a complex number `z = a + b * i` is a real number `|z| = sqrt(a^2 + b^2)`. The square of the absolute value `|z|^2` is the result of multiplication of `z` by its complex conjugate.
- `a` is the **real part** (a real number),

The sum/difference of two complex numbers involves adding/subtracting their real and imaginary parts separately:
`(a + i * b) + (c + i * d) = (a + c) + (b + d) * i`,
`(a + i * b) - (c + i * d) = (a - c) + (b - d) * i`.
- `b` is the **imaginary part** (also a real number), and

Multiplication result is by definition
`(a + i * b) * (c + i * d) = (a * c - b * d) + (b * c + a * d) * i`.
- `i` is the **imaginary unit** satisfying `i^2 = -1`.

The reciprocal of a non-zero complex number is
`1 / (a + i * b) = a/(a^2 + b^2) - b/(a^2 + b^2) * i`.
## Operations on Complex Numbers

Dividing a complex number `a + i * b` by another `c + i * d` gives:
`(a + i * b) / (c + i * d) = (a * c + b * d)/(c^2 + d^2) + (b * c - a * d)/(c^2 + d^2) * i`.
### Conjugate

Raising e to a complex exponent can be expressed as `e^(a + i * b) = e^a * e^(i * b)`, the last term of which is given by Euler's formula `e^(i * b) = cos(b) + i * sin(b)`.
The conjugate of the complex number `z = a + b * i` is given by:

Implement the following operations:
```text
zc = a - b * i
```

- addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of two complex numbers,
- conjugate, absolute value, exponent of a given complex number.
### Absolute Value

Assume the programming language you are using does not have an implementation of complex numbers.
The absolute value (or modulus) of `z` is defined as:

```text
|z| = sqrt(a^2 + b^2)
```

The square of the absolute value is computed as the product of `z` and its conjugate `zc`:

```text
|z|^2 = z * zc = a^2 + b^2
```

### Addition

The sum of two complex numbers `z1 = a + b * i` and `z2 = c + d * i` is computed by adding their real and imaginary parts separately:

```text
z1 + z2 = (a + b * i) + (c + d * i)
= (a + c) + (b + d) * i
```

### Subtraction

The difference of two complex numbers is obtained by subtracting their respective parts:

```text
z1 - z2 = (a + b * i) - (c + d * i)
= (a - c) + (b - d) * i
```

### Multiplication

The product of two complex numbers is defined as:

```text
z1 * z2 = (a + b * i) * (c + d * i)
= (a * c - b * d) + (b * c + a * d) * i
```

### Reciprocal

The reciprocal of a non-zero complex number is given by:

```text
1 / z = 1 / (a + b * i)
= a / (a^2 + b^2) - b / (a^2 + b^2) * i
```

### Division

The division of one complex number by another is given by:

```text
z1 / z2 = z1 * (1 / z2)
= (a + b * i) / (c + d * i)
= (a * c + b * d) / (c^2 + d^2) + (b * c - a * d) / (c^2 + d^2) * i
```

### Exponentiation

Raising _e_ (the base of the natural logarithm) to a complex exponent can be expressed using Euler's formula:

```text
e^(a + b * i) = e^a * e^(b * i)
= e^a * (cos(b) + i * sin(b))
```

## Implementation Requirements

Given that you should not use built-in support for complex numbers, implement the following operations:

- **addition** of two complex numbers
- **subtraction** of two complex numbers
- **multiplication** of two complex numbers
- **division** of two complex numbers
- **conjugate** of a complex number
- **absolute value** of a complex number
- **exponentiation** of _e_ (the base of the natural logarithm) to a complex number

- "We've only got Jim just now."
- "We've only got Jim right now."

In fact, when a test attempts to add the same student more than once, your implementation should indicate that this is incorrect.

Calculate the Hamming distance between two DNA strands.

Your body is made up of cells that contain DNA.
Those cells regularly wear out and need replacing, which they achieve by dividing into daughter cells.
In fact, the average human body experiences about 10 quadrillion cell divisions in a lifetime!

When cells divide, their DNA replicates too.
Sometimes during this process mistakes happen and single pieces of DNA get encoded with the incorrect information.
If we compare two strands of DNA and count the differences between them we can see how many mistakes occurred.
This is known as the "Hamming distance".

The Hamming distance is only defined for sequences of equal length, so an attempt to calculate it between sequences of different lengths should not work.
