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 really liked this project. It helped me to get more familiar with exceptions, try catch blocks. I learned many built in String and Character class functions, which I did not know about.❤️ As usual everything to the highest standard.

I have learned about checked and unchecked exceptions.Also I was surprised that such a distinction exist. Additionally, I have tried the State design pattern to structure the code in this project.
