![:triangular_flag_on_post:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/triangular_flag_on_post.png?v=3 ":triangular_flag_on_post:") Remember to use <a>**`Read-Search-Ask`**</a> if you get stuck. Try to pair program ![:busts_in_silhouette:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/busts_in_silhouette.png?v=3 ":busts_in_silhouette:") and write your own code ![:pencil:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/pencil.png?v=3 ":pencil:")
### ![:checkered_flag:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/checkered_flag.png?v=3 ":checkered_flag:") Problem Explanation:
* You need to write a function, which will take a string encoded with _Caesar cipher_ as a parameter and decode it.
* The one used here is ROT13 where the value of the letter is shifted by 13 places. e.g. 'A' ![:left_right_arrow:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/left_right_arrow.png?v=3 ":left_right_arrow:") 'N', 'T' ![:left_right_arrow:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/left_right_arrow.png?v=3 ":left_right_arrow:") 'G'.
* You have to shift it back 13 positions, such that 'N' ![:left_right_arrow:](https://forum.freecodecamp.com/images/emoji/emoji_one/left_right_arrow.png?v=3 ":left_right_arrow:") 'A'.
