Hey guys, I'm new to programming, as I've just started it as a hobby, and I'm attempting to create a simple program which ciphers text for the user. The user inputs texts, and then the program offsets each letter, by a value, which is also decided by the user.
So, if the offset value is set to 1, the word:
Cipher
becomes:
Djqifs
I'd like the program to be written as simply as possible, so that I can read it and try to create my own version. Many thanks guys! Keep up the good work!
That is called the Caesar cipher.
What exactly do you need help with this sounds like a pretty straightforward program.
1. Get rid of gets(). Never ever ever use it again. Replace it with fgets() and use that instead.
2. Get rid of void main and replace it with int main(void) and return 0 at the end of the function.
3. Get rid of conio.h and other antiquated DOS crap headers.
4. Don't cast the return value of malloc, even if you always always always make sure that stdlib.h is included.
I'd like someone to have a go at writing the program, so that I can see how they went about it, and make one myself, and expand on it in the future... Any more details, just ask
No, tell us what you don't understand? We are not going to give you the code.I'd like someone to have a go at writing the program, so that I can see how they went about it, and make one myself, and expand on it in the future... Any more details, just ask
Write down the logic before starting to code.
and post the code[in code tag] if you have any problem.
This looks like an assignment. Don't even think of that we'll do your work for you!
Haha, okay, when I get to my pc, I'll try writing out some code, cheers guys
