-One of the advantages of using computer programs is that we can easily implement repetitive tasks. Structures such as the `for`, `while`, and `do-while` allow us to repeat a block of instructions as many times as needed. These structures are also referred to as *repetition structures*. In today's laboratory experience you will complete a steganography application to practice the use of nested loops and the manipulation of bidimensional arrays.

 ## Steganography
42 42

-Steganography is the science of camouflaging the presence of hidden messages in legitimate carriers (seemingly harmless files). This science has been used by cybercriminals to inflict damage to computer systems and by (old style) terrorists to encode hidden messages transmitted through the internet. There is claim that Al-Qaeda may have used steganography to encode messages into images, and then transport them via e-mail, and possibly via USENET, to prepare and execute the September 11,  2001 terrorist attack.

 Steganography has some lawful uses too [1]:

 * A medical imaging laboratory can embed a patient's information into the images, thus preventing against fraud and/or patient misdiagnosis. 
48 48
 * We can use hidden information to identify the legitimate owner of a document or image. If the document is leaked, or distributed to unauthorized parties, one can trace it back to the rightful owner and perhaps discover which party broke the license distribution agreement.

-In this laboratory experience, you will recover secret messages that have been hidden in an image. To be able to carry out your task, you should understand some concepts related to images, be familiar with the methods of the `QImage` class in `Qt`,  and with functions to work with data of the `QRgb` type.

 ### Pixels
59 59

-The smallest element in an image is called a *pixel*. This unit consists of a single color. Since each color is a combination of tones for the primary red, green and blue colors, it is coded as an unsigned integer whose bytes represent the tones of red, green and blue of the pixel (Figure 1). This combination is called the color's *RGB* which is an acronym for "Red-Green-Blue". For example, a pure red pixel has an RGB representation of `0x00ff0000`, while a white pixel has an RGB representation of `0x00FFFFFF` (since the color white is a combination of tones of red, green and blue in all of their intensity).

 4. You will be working with the `steganography.cpp` file. Complete the `ExtractMessage` function that receives a steganography image so it extracts the digits of the binary message encoded in the image and stores them in a string. The function should invoke another function `binaryStringToMessage` that converts the string from `0`'s and `1`'s in the message's characters and returns the hidden message.
