Greetings coding enthusiasts!
Let’s spice things up with a brain teaser-style code challenge. I’ve stumbled upon a mysterious function during my coding adventures, and I’m eager to see if the collective brilliance of this community can crack its purpose.
Function:
function mysteriousCipher(input) {
let result = ”;
const cipher = [3, 1, 4, 6, 2, 5];
for (let i = 0; i < input.length; i++) { const index = cipher[i % cipher.length]; result += String.fromCharCode(input.charCodeAt(i) + index); } return result; } The Challenge: This function appears to transform a string input using an unconventional cipher. The mysteriousCipher function is applying some sort of cipher logic to each character of the input string, but the mechanism remains cryptic. Here are a couple of sample inputs and their outputs: For input "Hello", the function returns "Lipps". For input "Code", it returns "Hoki". Deciphering this function might require a keen eye for patterns, lateral thinking, or even algorithmic exploration. What could the cipher logic be? How does it transform input strings into these output strings? Feel free to brainstorm, experiment with different inputs, or suggest hypotheses on what this mysterious function might be doing. Let's exercise our problem-solving skills and enjoy the thrill of cracking this coding conundrum together! Looking forward to your ingenious interpretations!
