Decode Text Project

Introduction

Another important use of computers is that of the National Security Agency which uses them to decode messages that may be relevant to the security of the United States (although sometimes this is of a questionable moral undertaking). In this project you are give a cipher text and your program must logically test ways to decipher the text.

The Program

Your task is to write a program that decodes the text given in the link on the previous page. Your program must take into account the frequency of occurrence of various letters in the alphabet (you must look these up).

As in previous programs, turn in a listing of your source code, and several example runs of up to one hundred generations. If you worked with others, be sure to include their names on your program.
