Custom Text Obfuscation Algorithm (Just for fun > and learn process)

This code implements a custom algorithm for obfuscating text. It replaces individual characters (uppercase, lowercase letters, and numbers) with pre-defined strings, aiming to make the original text unreadable without the corresponding decoding logic.

Important Note:

This method offers basic obfuscation but shouldn't be considered secure encryption. A determined attacker could potentially analyze the code and reverse the logic to retrieve the original text.
Functionality:

The code defines a PasswordConverter class containing the core functionality.
The forCode function takes a string as input and iterates through it in reverse order.
Based on the character type (uppercase, lowercase, or number), it assigns a corresponding obfuscated string from a predefined mapping.
The obfuscated characters are accumulated and then reversed to maintain the original reading order.
Limitations:

This approach has limited security and should not be used for sensitive information.
Standard encryption libraries offer robust and secure methods for protecting confidential data.
Further Considerations:

The current implementation appears incomplete as the main class is empty.
Variable naming conventions could be improved for better readability.
For Secure Encryption:

Consider using well-established encryption libraries available in most programming languages. These libraries provide strong encryption algorithms that are demonstrably secure.
