Message Encryption

                                                     Message Encryption


                                   


To encrypt messages Jil will first decide on the number of columns C to use. Then Jil will pad the message with letters chosen randomly so that they form a rectangular matrix. Finally Jil will write down the message navigating the rows from left to right and then from right to left.

The program must accept the encrypted message M as input and then extract and print the original message (along with any additional padding letters) from the encrypted one based on the value of C.

Boundary Conditions:
Length of M is from 4 to 200.
2 <= C <= 20

Input Format:
First line will contain the string value of the encrypted message M.
Second line will contain the integer value of the column used for the encryption.

Output Format:
First line will contain the string value of the original message (along with any additional padding letters)

Sample Input/Output:

Example 1:
Input:
midinadiazne
3

Output:
madeinindiaz

Explanation:
m i d
a n i
d i a
e n z
Here z is the padding letter. The navigating across the rows mid (left to right) ina (right to left) and so on we come up with the encrypted message midinadiazne.


Example 2:
Input:
loaesfbnaiordilertenrdhdw
5

Output:
lionroaredandthebirdsflew

Explanation:
l o a e s
i a n b f
o r d i l
n e t r e
r d h d w

Here there are no padding letters. The navigating across the rows left to right and then from right to left we get loaesfbnaiordilertenrdhdw

Code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
    int len;
    char str[400];
    scanf("%s",str);
    scanf("%d",&len);
    int n=strlen(str)/len;
    char str1[n][len];
    int i,j,k=0;
    for(i=0;i<n;i++)
    {
        if(i%2==0)
        {
            for(j=0;j<len;j++)
                str1[i][j]=str[k++];
        }
        else
        {
            for(j=len-1;j>=0;j--)
                str1[i][j]=str[k++];
        }
    }
    for(i=0;i<len;i++)
        for(j=0;j<n;j++)
            printf("%c",str1[j][i]);
}
