encryption - Ceasar cipher: python -

-

the decrypting section doesn't work because randomly put wrong letters doesn't make enter code herethe word encrypted in first place. example if encrypted 'hello' 7 encryption 'olssv' when decrypted become 'cebbe'

i think problem on line 22 ' cipher2 += alphabet[(alphabet.index(a)-key)%len(cipher)]' i'm not 100% sure.

here code.

alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' la = len(alphabet) message = input("insert message: ") key = int(input("insert key: ")) cipher = ''  in message:     if in alphabet:         cipher += alphabet[(alphabet.index(a)+key)%la]     else:         print ("error") print(cipher)  cipher2 = ''  question = input("do wish decrypt? y/n: ")  if question.lower() == 'y':     in cipher:         if in alphabet:             print((cipher.index(a)-key))         cipher2 += alphabet[(alphabet.index(a)-key)%len(cipher)]     else:           print(cipher2) else:     print("thank you")

comparing 2 lines:

     cipher += alphabet[(alphabet.index(a)+key)%la]     cipher2 += alphabet[(alphabet.index(a)-key)%len(cipher)]

aside expected difference in addition/subtraction, looks you're changing you're using modulus. try sticking la both.

    cipher += alphabet[(alphabet.index(a)+key)%la]     cipher2 += alphabet[(alphabet.index(a)-key)%la]

i have been playing around irb , have string looks this: irb(main):072:0> puts ["[\"4354 5432 5432 xxxxx\", \"6547 6547 8543 xxxxx\", \"2344 6543 6674 xxxxx\", \"2346 6236 7543 xxxxx\", \"1273 5585 5587 xxxxx\"]"] => nil irb(main):073:0> what want gsub last 2 "x" s of each 17 digit combination, 23 . what i've tried far (i've been using rubular): a.gsub(/\d[x]/,"23") <= grabs "x" s i'm close a.gsub(/\w[x{2}]/,"23") <= grabs "x" s grabs two digits each combination. is there easier way i'm not understanding? a.gsub(/\d{4} \d{4} \d{4} xxx\kxx/, '23') \d{4} = 4 digits what \k drop matched far. can use don't replace entire number, still able validate have in desired format.
