One of the simplest and most widely known ciphers is a Caesar cipher, also known as a shift cipher. In a shift cipher the meanings of the letters are shifted by some set amount.
A common modern use is the ROT13 cipher, where the values of the letters are shifted by 13 places. Thus A ↔ N, B ↔ O and so on.
Write a function which takes a ROT13 encoded string as input and returns a decoded string.
All letters will be uppercase. Do not transform any non-alphabetic character (i.e. spaces, punctuation), but do pass them on.

rot13("SERR PBQR PNZC") should decode to the string FREE CODE CAMP
Passed:rot13("SERR CVMMN!") should decode to the string FREE PIZZA!
Passed:rot13("SERR YBIR?") should decode to the string FREE LOVE?
Passed:rot13("GUR DHVPX OEBJA SBK WHZCF BIRE GUR YNML QBT.") should decode to the string THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG.

As you can notice, each number in the range of [65 - 90] maps to a unique number between [0 - 25]. You might have also noticed that each given number (e.g. 65) maps to another number (e.g. 13) which can be used as an offset value (i.e. 65 + OFFSET) to get the ROT13 of the given number.
E.g. 65 maps to 13 which can be taken as an offset value and added to 65 to give 78.
