Implementing Caesar Cipher Encryption

Beginner

In this project, you will learn how to implement the Caesar Cipher, a simple and widely known encryption technique. The Caesar Cipher uses a substitution method to replace English characters in a message with the character N positions later or earlier in the alphabet sequence.

Python

## Example 1
text = "python"; encryption_text = "ravjqp"
## Example 2
text = "pyThon"; encryption_text = "raVjqp"
## Example 3
text = "Python31"; encryption_text = "Ravjqp31"
## Example 4
text = None; encryption_text = None

🎯 Tasks

In this project, you will learn:

  • How to set up the project environment and create the necessary files
