func rot13(str string) string {
    return strings.Map(encryptRune, str)
}

func encryptRune(r rune) rune {
    if r >= 65 && r <= 90 {
        return (((r - 65) + 13) % 26) + 65
    } else if r >= 97 && r <= 122 {
        return (((r - 97) + 13) % 26) + 97
    } else {
        return r
    }
}

func exitWithError() {
    fmt.Println("Usage: please provide a string to encrypt")
    os.Exit(1)
}

func main() {
    if len(os.Args) != 2 {
        exitWithError()
    }

    if len(os.Args[1]) <= 0 {
        exitWithError()
    }

    fmt.Println(rot13(os.Args[1]))
}
