: These built-in functions convert between characters and their ASCII values. They allow us to generate a to z without typing each letter.

The goal of this exercise is to write a program that converts a plaintext message into a based on a predefined mapping. Unlike standard ciphers (like Caesar cipher), this exercise typically requires you to define your own substitution scheme—often mapping letters to numbers, symbols, or reversed strings. : These built-in functions convert between characters and
And a reverse mapping for decoding:
For the CodeHS assignment 8.3.8: Create Your Own Encoding , you are tasked with developing a binary encoding scheme to represent text. This involves mapping specific characters (A-Z and spaces) to unique binary sequences using the minimum number of bits required. Encoding Logic & Requirements Character Set : You must include every capital letter from space character (27 characters total). Minimum Bits (too few) and (enough), you must use for each character to meet the minimum requirement. Mapping Example Rebuild the message message = "" for code
