ENCRYPTION With Python! #python #coding #programming

This is an example of how to use Caesar's Cipher to encrypt a message in Python!

[aimanamin]

it's an implementation of Ceasars cypher.

you can simplify the handling of wraparound on lines 17 and 19 by using "output index = (input index +/- key) % len(ledger)" and eliminate the second if/else block.

[tobyholder]

you could have shortened this by using ord and chr to convert each letter to ascii then add the key amnt to that ascii and then back to a letter/ symbol/ number and then print the letter with no end all in one line

message = "Secret Message"
key = 5

for i in range(len(message)):
print(chr(ord(message[i])+key), end = "")


and do the same in revers for decrypting

Another way to do this is to use .replace() and replace the characters that way, that’s what I did when I made Python encryptions/decryptions.

I was wondering when you'd fix that syntax error. 🖥 👩‍💻

Thanks broo for teaching this to will try it and give you a feedback about how this what..!!✌✌

[jonassvaricek]

I made a text compression (saves 50% of text) just in 27 lines. It can also work as encryption

[ropi]

nobody talking about how he spelt wraparound wrong

[davidsimek]

You cold wrap it in function at least.

[apollo_predates_soup]

Couldn't you just use % for the wraparound?

[martevius]

Encryption without using a library, cool!

[oceanau]

I dream to have a keyboard that sounds like that 🫡

[zerpointnothing]

Can't you just use Else statements? What's the point of using elif's here...

[izzyskywalkerr]

That's not encryption, it's a Caesarean Cipher....

[gigachad]

wow those comments are absolutely awful

[niuniujunwashere]

"handle wraparaound" **cries in modular arithmetic**

also the string library exists, please just use string.ascii_lowercase and string.digits instead of typing them out
