In this exercise you will design and implement a simple encryption program that can either encrypt or decrypt a string of text by following the steps below. Create a dictionary dict that maps each (lower case) character of the basic Latin alphabet to another. Make sure no one letter is mapped to itself. Do not use a simple ordering, such as reversing the alphabet. This will act as your cipher. Your program should be able to ask user for a text and encrypt it. Your program will take each character in the string and swap it with the corresponding character from the cipher, print the encrypted text. Your program should be able to decrypt encrypted text as well. It should perform the opposite operation as the encrypt does. Print the decrypted text. Create a loop that asks if the user would like to encrypt some text, decrypt some cipher text, or exit the program. Perform the operation the user selects, printing the computed text if applicable.
