Caesar Encryption
Julius Caesar protected his confidential information by encrypting it in a cipher. Caesar's cipher rotated every letter in a string by a fixed number, making it unreadable by his enemies. In the original cipher only letters were encrypted, symbols such as spaces, -, ., ... were left unencrypted.
Required knowledge
This challenge is solvable from the moment you know how to make decisions, loop and know about Strings.
Challenge
Use the caesar encryption cypher to encrypt a string provided by the user. However, compared to the original also encrypt printable symbols. A good subset of the ASCII values are decimal values 32 (space) to 126 ~.
The key should be any valid integral value.
Example:
Welcome to this enhanced Caesar Encryption application.
It will allow you to encrypt a given text with a provided key.
The text can contain any ASCII character between 32 and 126 (inclusive).
Please enter key: 15
Would you like to [e]ncrypt of [d]crypt? e
Please enter text to encrypt:
Hello from the World of Java where we can encrypt things like <html> tags, if (15 > 30) structures and also tildes like ~. Cool is it not.
The encrypted result:
Wt{{~/u"~|/$wt/f~"{s/~u/Yp&p/'wt"t/'t/rp}/t}r") $/$wx}v#/{xzt/Kw$|{M/$pv#;/xu/7@D/M/B?8/#$"%r$%"t#/p}s/p{#~/$x{st#/{xzt/.=/R~~{/x#/x$/}~$=Solution
