Coding Quiz - Caesar Cipher
In this coding quiz, you will write a function to apply the Caesar cipher
to a given string.
The Caesar cipher is a method of encrypting text by shifting each letter a specific number of places down the alphabet. For example, shifting 'a' by 3 results in 'd', and shifting 'z' by 2 results in 'b'.
The user provides a string
and an integer 'shift' value
, and you are to replace each letter in the string with a letter that's 'shift' positions later in the alphabet to return a new string.
For instance, if the 'shift' is 3 and the input string is "abc", the output string should be "def".
def solution(text, shift): # Write your code here return
Constraints
-
The input string consists of only English letters, and it is case-sensitive.
-
Spaces, special characters, and numbers are not transformed.
-
The 'shift' value is an integer.
Example Input/Output
-
Input: string
"abc"
, 'shift'3
-
Output:
"def"
-
Input: string
"XYZ"
, 'shift'2
