Hey there! It's been a while, but I'm back! Here is a project that allows you to encode and decode messages using the Caesar Cipher. If you go inside and add characters to the "chars" variable in the program, the program will scramble up the message even more, and it will encrypt more characters! The order of the characters in the chars variable determine how the cipher encodes and decodes, so please mess around with that! ============================================= INSTRUCTIONS: -For encrypt, type in the message you want to encode. For decrypt, type in the encrypted message. -After you hit enter to enter in the message, it will ask you for the "shift". Just type in a number besides zero(can be a negative number.) For decrypt, type in the number that is the shift of the encoded message.
WHAT IS SHIFT?: Shift, is how many letters forward or backward each letter in the Caesar cipher goes. For example, if you have an "a" in your cipher, and the shift is 5, the "a" would become an "f", which is 5 letters forward. If the shift was negative, it would move 5 letters back. Credits: Julius Caesar for inventing the cipher. Various random media sources that I can't remember for teaching me this cipher.
