Describe your change: I have added a new algorithm, RC4 (Rivest Cipher 4), which is a stream cipher used for encryption and decryption of messages. The RC4 algorithm generates a pseudorandom keystream based on a secret key and then XORs this keystream with the plaintext to produce the ciphertext. This addition includes a complete implementation of the RC4 algorithm in Python, along with detailed comments and examples to explain its usage. I look forward to feedback and further improvements.
