 +    * the encoding and decoding functionality needs to occur within declared/defined functions you create that are called from **main()** to perform the intended operation.
 +      * As they will be performing operations on your array filled with the input data, you also need to make productive use of loops.
 +      * all data needed by the function needs to be passed in by parameter! No global variables.
 +      * The functions should return an integer containing the exact count of non-letters encountered (and therefore left unmodified from input to output). Your **main()** function needs to return this value when complete.
  
 +Your program should be a "one shot". It should only perform its intended operation and exit. No prompting for encode/decode, no "do you want to go again"... just a read from input, process, output, and exit with appropriate return value. They should conform to the execution examples found in this project.

 +When compiling, an additional constraint is added: compile with the **-Wall** flag.
