Talk:Caesar cipher: Difference between revisions

: Why not provide two solutions then, a more general program besides the 65 character one. It's unlikely either one will take too much effort to write. (btw, I think at Caesar's time there were only 24 letters in the Latin alphabet, all upper case, and no punctuations or arabic numerals existed; buts that's probably not relevant) --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 21:13, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

:: I was the task author. [[Vigenère cipher]] required to discard non-alphabetic characters, and [[Rot-13]] required to preserve them. [[Caesar cipher]] has no such requirements. Among these solutions, some discard non-alphabetic characters, some preserve them, and some might only work with uppercase (not lowercase) input. --[[User:Kernigh|Kernigh]] 21:54, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
