Simple Encryption and Decryption Program

This Python script provides a basic encryption and decryption mechanism for words. It's designed for demonstration purposes and includes customizable prefixes and suffixes.

---

Features

• Encryption: Transforms a word by moving the first character to the end, converting it to lowercase, and appending a predefined prefix and suffix.
• Decryption: Reverses the encryption process to retrieve the original word.
• Handles words shorter than 3 characters by simply reversing them.

---

How It Works

1. Encrypt:

   • Adds a prefix ("axt") and suffix ("lqz") to the modified word.
   • Example: "Hello" → "axtellohqlz"

2. Decrypt:

   • Removes the prefix and suffix to restore the original word.
   • Example: "axtellohqlz" → "Hello"

Usage

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x installed on your system.

Running the Program

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/prashh129/decode.git

2. Navigate to the directory:

   cd decode

3. Run the script:

   python3 script_name.py

4. Follow the prompts:
   • Enter "code" to encrypt a word.
   • Enter "decode" to decrypt a word.
   • Enter the word when prompted.

Example

Encryption:

Input:

Enter if you want to Code or Decode: code
Enter the word you want to encrypt: Hello

Output:

Your encrypted word is: axtellohqlz

Decryption:

Input:

Enter if you want to Code or Decode: decode
Enter the word you want to decrypt: axtellohqlz

Output:

Your decrypted word is: Hello

Notes

• Words shorter than 3 characters are reversed during both encryption and decryption.
• Input validation ensures that empty words are not accepted.
