# caesar-cipher
|
||||
|
||||
Created by [@Divlo](https://github.com/Divlo) on 21 October 2020.
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions :
|
||||
|
||||
In cryptography, a **Caesar cipher**, also known as **Caesar's cipher**, the **shift cipher**, **Caesar's code** or **Caesar shift**, is one of the simplest and most widely known encryption techniques. It is a type of substitution cipher in which each letter in the plaintext is replaced by a letter some fixed number of positions down the alphabet. For example, with a left shift of 3, D would be replaced by A, E would become B, and so on. The method is named after Julius Caesar, who used it in his private correspondence.
|
||||
|
||||
### Example of the alphabet with a rotation by 3 :
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Original alphabet : ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
|
||||
Alphabet rotated +3 : DEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABC
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Complete the solution function. It should return the encrypted string.
|
||||
|
||||
The function has the following parameter(s):
|
||||
|
||||
- `string`: a string in cleartext (everything uppercase)
|
||||
- `shift`: an integer, the alphabet rotation factor
