[Exercise 03] Caesar Cipher Decoder

3 like 0 dislike
3.7k views

You have received an encrypted message from Julius Caesar-- the message is ebiil.  You are asked to decipher the message in order to understand what Caesar trying to say to you.

Hint

Luckily, Caesar has given you a hint, he says: 'I, myself, encoded the message by shifting every word backwards by 3.' 

Solution

Write a program that receives 5 characters 'ebiil'. Then decode those characters into 5 new characters.

Example

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {


	char a;
    	char b;
	 	
	scanf("%c%c", &a, &b);
	
	//decode the message how??
	
	printf("%c%c", a,b);
	
	return 0;
}

Input

ebiil

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Output

hello

** REMEMBER **

Your program receives only 2 characters, and it doesn't move characters' positions.

Try to make it receive 5 characters, and move their positions forward by 3.

This exercise expects only 'hello'. However, your code has.....

printf("Put the words you want to decode:");

Kindly consider delete this part :)

Great job using an array and a loop. There are two mistakes found in your code. Please check
1.     printf("\n\n%s", code);  <--- in order to make it match the fixed output '\n\n' should be deleted
2.     At the end of your code, there's something missing.

It's correct lol you can't judge me
commented by (268 points)

Well, that's because your output doesn't match with the fixed answer. Please take a look at this
printf("%c%c%c%c%c\n", a1, b1, c1, d1, e1);

Hint: You should delete something  :)

By the way, great job.

Nice, it is correct. You might be wondering why your automatically-generated score is 0.
That's because it expects its output to be only 'hello'. However, what your program showed was:
     Please input the letter to encode: ebiil
     hello

Anyway, great job. Full marks.
