 Notes:
 
 - You can assume that all characters in the plaintext, ciphertext, and keyword will be alphabetic (i.e no spaces, numbers, or punctuation).
-	- However, the text of `not_a_secret_message.txt` contains spaces, numbers, and punctuation, so if you want to decrypt that, you'll need to write code that handles non-alphabetic characters. You can ignore these characters entirely for the purpose of encryption and decryption.

Non-alphabetic characters will not be encrypted, and do not use up any of the characters from the key. For example:
