Question

I have been working on this for the last couple of days but don't understand what i am doing wrong. I feel I am not taking into account the shift value to decode the encrypted text.

Ive tested with a series of inputs that are supposed to work but only one seems correct

This is the only correct Value

Value is supposed to abcde

Value is supposed to be Hello World

I feel I setup the Shift value incorrect but I am not sure whats wrong exactly.

Explanation / Answer

text = input("Enter plain text: ") s = input("Shift: ") def caesar(plainText, shift): cipherText = "" for char in plainText: val = ord(char) - shift if val < 32: val = 127 - (31 - val) elif val > 127: val = val - 128 + 32 cipherText += chr(val) return cipherText print(caesar(text, int(s)))
