hello there, i would really appreciate some help here,
so this is the prompt on step 12 scientific computing beta:
The first kind of cipher you are going to build is called a Caesar cipher. Specifically, you will take each letter in your message, find its position in the alphabet, take the letter located after 3 positions, and replace the original letter with the new letter.
Start by finding the position of the first letter in the string. One way is to use the built-in find()
function:
a_string.find(char)
Above, char
is the character you want to locate, and a_string
is the string you want to parse.
At the end of your code, call find()
on your alphabet
string and
pass text[0]
to the function.
my question: what does the prompt mean “my message” does this mean i have to create a string text which i have to convert to a cypher text or should i use the string – alphabet
also as i move along with the problem i would love to check that i’m getting the steps is that not a thing here? or i have to finish first
