/**
* A Java implementation of the Vigenère Cipher.
*
* The Vigenère Cipher is a polyalphabetic substitution cipher that uses a
* keyword to shift letters in the plaintext by different amounts, depending
* on the corresponding character in the keyword. It wraps around the alphabet,
* ensuring the shifts are within 'A'-'Z' or 'a'-'z'.
*
* Non-alphabetic characters (like spaces, punctuation) are kept unchanged.
*
* Encryption Example:
* - Plaintext: "Hello World!"
* - Key: "suchsecret"
* - Encrypted Text: "Zynsg Yfvev!"
*
* Decryption Example:
* - Ciphertext: "Zynsg Yfvev!"
* - Key: "suchsecret"
* - Decrypted Text: "Hello World!"
