class MathObfuscationConverter(PromptConverter):
"""
Convert text into character-level algebraic identities.
This converter encodes each character of the input text into an equation of
the form `X = nX - (n - 1)X`, where `n` is a randomly chosen integer greater
than or equal to 2. This creates a deterministic, reversible obfuscation of
the original input.
The transformation follows these rules:
* Each non-space character becomes one algebraic line.
* Space characters are represented as blank output lines.
* Newline characters are preserved as blank output lines.
An inline hint is added after the first equation, and a suffix instruction
is appended to prompt the model to decode the content.

Initialize a MathObfuscationConverter instance.
Args:
min_n (int):
Minimum integer value used for `n` in `X = nX - (n - 1)X`.
Must be greater than or equal to 2.
max_n (int):
Maximum integer value used for `n`. Must be greater than

hint (Optional[str]):
Inline hint appended to the first equation line. If None,
uses the default hint explaining the variable encoding.
Set to empty string "" to disable hint entirely.
suffix (Optional[str]):
Custom suffix to append after the obfuscated text. If None,
uses the default suffix prompting the model to decode.

Optional random number generator instance used to produce
