#C4100. Caesar Cipher: Encode and Decode
Caesar Cipher: Encode and Decode
Caesar Cipher: Encode and Decode
This problem requires you to implement a variant of the Caesar Cipher. The Caesar Cipher is a simple substitution cipher where each letter in the plaintext is replaced by a letter some fixed number of positions down the alphabet.
Given a string text, an integer shift, and a choice ('encode' or 'decode'), you are to encode or decode the text accordingly. The transformation for a letter p is defined as:
\( c = (p + s) \mod 26 \)
for encoding, and
\( c = (p - s) \mod 26 \)
for decoding, where s is the shift value. Non-alphabetical characters should remain unchanged.
inputFormat
The input is given via stdin and consists of three lines:
- The first line is the text (a string) to be processed.
- The second line is an integer representing the shift value.
- The third line is a string which is either
encode
ordecode
indicating the operation.
outputFormat
Output a single line via stdout containing the resulting text after applying the Caesar Cipher transformation.
