Question for porject (both)

11:59am Tue 21st May, ANONYMOUS

I am having trouble understanding the caesar function. Consider this example: char t1[] = "ZZZ"; char t2[sizeof(t1)] = {0}; caesar_encrypt('A', 'Z', 2, t1, t2); Would the 'Z' wrap around so become 'B' or would it just go beyond the alphabet so '/' ? And if it would need to wrap around based of range_low, so: char t1[] = "ZZZ"; char t2[sizeof(t1)] = {0}; caesar_encrypt('D', 'Z', 2, t1, t2); 'Z' would become 'E' ?

Hi,

I'm afraid you'll have to work this out for yourself, at this point. I regard ambiguities or contradictions in the spec as already having been clarified – it's now up to you to apply your best understanding in interpreting and implementing the spec.

Cheers,

Arran
