# Instructions

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

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.

[//]: # " monoalphabetic as spelled by Merriam-Webster, compare to polyalphabetic "

## Encryption

The encryption function is:

```text
E(x) = (ai + b) mod m
```

Where:

- `i` is the letter's index from `0` to the length of the alphabet - 1.
- `m` is the length of the alphabet.
For the Latin alphabet `m` is `26`.
- `a` and `b` are integers which make up the encryption key.

Values `a` and `m` must be _coprime_ (or, _relatively prime_) for automatic decryption to succeed, i.e., they have number `1` as their only common factor (more information can be found in the [Wikipedia article about coprime integers][coprime-integers]).
In case `a` is not coprime to `m`, your program should indicate that this is an error.
Otherwise it should encrypt or decrypt with the provided key.

For the purpose of this exercise, digits are valid input but they are not encrypted.
Spaces and punctuation characters are excluded.
Ciphertext is written out in groups of fixed length separated by space, the traditional group size being `5` letters.
This is to make it harder to guess encrypted text based on word boundaries.

## Decryption

The decryption function is:

```text
D(y) = (a^-1)(y - b) mod m
```

Where:

- `y` is the numeric value of an encrypted letter, i.e., `y = E(x)`
- it is important to note that `a^-1` is the modular multiplicative inverse (MMI) of `a mod m`
- the modular multiplicative inverse only exists if `a` and `m` are coprime.

The MMI of `a` is `x` such that the remainder after dividing `ax` by `m` is `1`:

```text
ax mod m = 1
```

More information regarding how to find a Modular Multiplicative Inverse and what it means can be found in the [related Wikipedia article][mmi].

## General Examples

- Encrypting `"test"` gives `"ybty"` with the key `a = 5`, `b = 7`
- Decrypting `"ybty"` gives `"test"` with the key `a = 5`, `b = 7`
- Decrypting `"ybty"` gives `"lqul"` with the wrong key `a = 11`, `b = 7`
- Decrypting `"kqlfd jzvgy tpaet icdhm rtwly kqlon ubstx"` gives `"thequickbrownfoxjumpsoverthelazydog"` with the key `a = 19`, `b = 13`
- Encrypting `"test"` with the key `a = 18`, `b = 13` is an error because `18` and `26` are not coprime

## Example of finding a Modular Multiplicative Inverse (MMI)

Finding MMI for `a = 15`:

- `(15 * x) mod 26 = 1`
- `(15 * 7) mod 26 = 1`, ie. `105 mod 26 = 1`
- `7` is the MMI of `15 mod 26`
