Cypher-text: “solsse outtol lnhefd vverte eemihr tiyees”
Plain-text: “solve to unveil the mysteries of the elders”

User input string will be always 36 characters).[6*6 matrix]Encrypted or decrypted output (i.e. either plaintext or cyphertext) as per user’s choice should be displayed.
Plz dont use pointers!!!

Explanation / Answer

please rate - thanks

sorry, couldn't figure out where to put spaces when ouputting plain text
