Implement encrypt and decrypt functions for the straddling checkerboard cipher using a 28-character alphabet (A-Z, full stop, escape) and two blank positions in the first row. Output is decimal digits; digits in the plaintext are escaped.

Task

Implement functions to encrypt and decrypt a message using the [[wp:Straddling_checkerboard|straddling checkerboard]] method. The checkerboard should take a 28 character alphabet (A-Z plus a full stop and an escape character) and two different numbers representing the blanks in the first row. The output will be a series of decimal digits.

Numbers should be encrypted by inserting the escape character before each digit, then including the digit unencrypted. This should be reversed for decryption.

Or using the rules proposed by [[User:Util|Util]] on the discussion page:

```j
   preprocess=: Stop&([`([: I. Charset -.@e.~ ])`]} toupper) NB. replace all non-alphanumerics with Stop
   1 chkbrdRC 0 chkbrdRC preprocess 'One night-it was on the twentieth of March, 1888-I was returning'
ONE.NIGHT.IT.WAS.ON.THE.TWENTIETH.OF.MARCH..1888.I.WAS.RETURNING
```



Another method is to create a set of keys which correspond to the encoded letters in the alphabet. This allows for the relatively simple design of the encoding and decoding functions as they are essentially hash table lookups.

'''Solution:'''

```j
NB. stops setcode alphabet
NB. creates verbs encode and decode which change between unencoded text and lists of encoded numbers
   setcode=: 3 :0
2 6 setcode y
:
alphabet=: y, ,":"0 i.10
stops=. x
alphkeys=. (a: , ,&.> x) ([ -.~ [: , ,&.>/) i.10
esckey=. >(alphabet i. '/'){alphkeys
numkeys=. esckey&,&.> i.10
keys=. alphkeys,numkeys

encode=: ([: ; keys {~ alphabet&i.) :. decode
break=. /\.&.|. e.&stops) + _1|.2*esckey&E.
decode=: (alphabet {~ keys i. break f.) :. encode
i.0 0
)
```


'''Example usage:'''

```j
   3 7 setcode 'HOLMESRTABCDFGIJKNPQUVWXYZ./'
   preprocess=: (#~ alphabet e.~ ])@toupper
   ,":"0 encode message=: preprocess 'One night-it was on the twentieth of March, 1888-I was returning'

## Julia

Unlike the precomputed table versions, this version takes a 30-character string specifying the 3 rows of the checkerboard
as an argument, recomputing the lookup table each run, which allows easier changes of keys without modifying the code.

```julia

    reverselookup = Dict()
    row2 = row3 = slash = -1
    function encode(x)

            c = string(ch)
            if haskey(lookup, c)
                s *= lookup[c]
            elseif contains("0123456789", c)
                s *= c
