a) Frequency analysis: write a program in C++ or python to compute the relative frequency of all letters A...Z in the ciphertext given above.
b) In order to decrypt the ciphertext look at the table 1.1 below, “Frequency” column and substitute the letters with more closer number which you obtained in part a. Note that the text is relatively short and that the letter frequencies in it might not perfectly align with that of general English language from the table. Try to substitute letters represented its letter frequencies and then try to read the text you obtained and make changes. Please write detail report what you did in each step.
