+#Base52
+
+Encode and Decode Base 52 Values
+
+##Description
+
+Implement functionality to the base Integer class to convert an integer into an equivalent base 52 string using the character set 0-9, A-Z, a-z excluding 
+vowels.  Additionally, implement functionality to the base String class to 
+convert a base 52 string back to an integer.
+
+##Install
+
+```
+$ gem install base52
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```
+require 'base52'
+
+1000000000.to_52
+=> "2clyTD"
+
+"2clyTD".from_52
+=> 1000000000
