# Task 1: automate the creation of this bacon_text and cipher_text:
bacon_text = "aabbb" + "abaaa" #groups of 5 letters per letter
cipher_text = "daRTHvAder" #lowercase a, UPPERCASE B


# Task 2: develop a method to decrypt the resulting Baconian cipher_text


# Task 3: allow the plain_text to be input at run-time.
# wrap or truncate the sentence_to_hide_with if it is longer or shorter.
