* Problem 1 [30pts]. According to historians, Julius Caesar used the following encryption

* technique for sending messages. Given a string s and an integer k, replace every letter by

* the letter than comes k positions later in alphabetical order. For example the string hello

* with key 5, is encrypted into mjqqt since letter m is the fifth letter after h and so on.

* Note that z in this case is mapped to e (since after z we go back to a). To decrypt the

* message one needs to know the key; for our example, just shift each letter by -5 positions.

* In this problem you will write a program called Cipher.java which does both encryption

* and decryption. Some examples follow

* -- Enter the text below

* Hello

* -- Enter E for Encryption, D for Decryption, X to exit: E

* -- Enter key: 5

* -- The encrypted text is below

* Mjqqt

* Now another example

* -- Enter the text below

* Mjqqt

* -- Enter E for Encryption, D for Decryption, X to exit: D

* -- Enter key: 5

* -- The decrypted text is below

* Hello

* Another example

* -- Enter the text below

* Hello

* -- Enter E for Encryption, D for Decryption, X to exit: F

* -- Input not recognized. Try again.

* -- Enter E for Encryption, D for Decryption, X to exit: X

* NOTE: You can assume that the input contain only alphabet letters, both lower case and

* upper case, space, and the usual punctuation marks {., !?}. Non alphabet characters are to

* be left unchanged. Also, you must keep the case; i.e. a lower case letter should be mapped

* to a lower case letter.

* NOTE: The key k is a positive integer. But, it can be a large number. In this case, you

* must wrap it around. For example if the key is 27 then a is mapped to b etc. Your code is

* expected to work with any non-negative integer. Please check that input key is valid (that

* is key 0; if not print an error message and exit).
