About

Secret agents use encryption all the time. You know that everything can be encrypted as different characters. What about encryption that uses only one character and space? This method has a name — the Chuck Norris cipher. In this project, you will create a program that can encrypt any text into a sequence of zeros and spaces and decrypt this sequence into text.

I have learned to implement the full Chuck Norris Cipher by using binary conversion, applying the run-length encoding logic of the cipher, and handling the core task of grouping consecutive identical bits using regex or iteration. The project reinforced conditional logic and string manipulation in J ...

I have had experiencies with ciphering before but this time I really learned a lot about the binary number system. What it is, how to count, sum, substract, convert to decimal and viceversa.
