NB. What is the most elegant way to rotate uppercase NB. and lowercase letters by n? ("rotation cipher")
c2n=: a.&i. lc=: >&96 *. <&123 uc=: >&64 *. <& 91 s=: 'Btggn Rwgxhibph 2011 id iwt Y-Egdvgpbbxcv bpxaxcv axhi!' NB. I came up with those, but I think there’s still room for improvement NB. (Isn't there something in the J-Phrases?) NB. uppercase -> 2, lowercase -> 1, else -> 0 cl=: +:@uc + lc cl`(] , ([: 26&| +&n)&.(-&97) ,: ([: 26&| +&n)&.(-&65))}&.c2n s ((] + ] ]`([: 26&| n + ])@.((0~:[)"0) [ - ]) (97&*@lc + 65&*@uc))&.c2n s NB. Enumerate all possibilities |: ((] + ] (26 # ])`([: 26&| (i.26) + ])@.((0 ~: [)"0) [ - ]) (97&*@lc + 65&*@uc))&.c2n s NB.
