 /**
- * Caesar's Cipher - also known as the ROT13 Cipher is when
- * a letter is replaced by the one that is 13 spaces away
- * from it in the alphabet. If the letter is in the first half
- * of the alphabet we add 13, if it's in the latter half we
- * subtract 13 from the character code value.
+ * @function caesarsCipher
+ * @description - In cryptography, a Caesar cipher, also known as Caesar's cipher, the shift cipher, Caesar's code or Caesar shift, is one of the simplest and most widely known encryption techniques. It is a type of substitution cipher in which each letter in the plaintext is replaced by a letter some fixed number of positions down the alphabet. For example, with a left shift of 3, D would be replaced by A, E would become B, and so on. The method is named after Julius Caesar, who used it in his private correspondence.
+ * @see - [wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar_cipher)
+ * @param  {string} str - string to be encrypted
+ * @param {number} rotation - the number of rotation, expect real number ( > 0)
