# Encrypting Grade Messages
###################################################################################################
# We can represent your first-year courses grades using a tuple of five integers between 0 and 100,
# inclusive. A *grades message* is a list of grades, i.e., a list[tuple[int, int, int, int, int]].
# For example:
#
# [(95, 90, 67, 75, 89), (55, 64, 78, 92, 86), (100, 96, 64, 83, 87)]
###################################################################################################
# Description of the Cryptosystem
###################################################################################################
# We define the following SYMMETRIC-KEY CRYPTOSYSTEM on grade messages:
#
# PLAINTEXT and CIPHERTEXT:
# Grades messages (i.e, list[tuple[int, int, int, int, int]],
# where each int is in 0-100, inclusive.
#
# SECRET KEY:
# The secret key is an integer k.
#
# ENCRYPTION:
# For each index i in the plaintext grade message (starting at i = 0), transform the i-th grade
# tuple by adding (k^(i+1)) to each element of the tuple and then taking the remainder modulo 101.
#
# DECRYPTION:
# Reverse the encryption process.
###################################################################################################
# Part (a) - encryption
###################################################################################################
# The function below is the start of the encryption algorithm described above.
# Complete it by doing two things:
# 1. Complete the doctest example by showing the expected return value of the function call.
# 2. Implement the function body. You may use loops, comprehensions, and/or helper functions.
# You are not required to add doctests for any helper functions you create.
#
# Note: encryption should NOT mutate the input plaintext.

# Part (b) - decryption
###################################################################################################
# The function below is the start of the decryption algorithm described above.
# Complete it by doing two things:
# 1. Add one new doctest example for this function.
# 2. Implement the function body. You may use loops, comprehensions, and/or helper functions.
# You are not required to add doctests for any helper functions you create.

# based on the description of the encryption algorithm.
