# Exercise XX - caesar cipher
|
||||
|
||||
Implement the legendary caesar cipher:
|
||||
|
||||
> 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.
|
||||
|
||||
write a function that takes a string to be encoded and a shift factor and then returns the encoded string:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
caesar('A', 1) // simply shifts the letter by 1: returns 'B'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
the cipher should retain capitalization:
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
caesar('Hey', 5) // returns 'Mjd;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
should _not_ shift punctuation:
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
caesar('Hello, World!', 5) //returns 'Mjqqt, Btwqi!'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
the shift should wrap around the alphabet:
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
caesar('Z', 1) // returns 'A'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
negative numbers should work as well:
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
caesar('Mjqqt, Btwqi!', -5) // returns 'Hello, World!'
|
||||
```
