One of the earlier programs I wrote in Python was a Caesar Cipher (later updating it to add a GUI). As part of my recent Java learning I have created a Caesar Cipher in Java. If you want to read more about Caesar Ciphers then please check out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar_cipher

I have placed the Java file for this project (cipher.java) on my GitHub: https://github.com/geektechdude/Java_stuff
/* GeekTechStuff Caesar Cipher */ import java.util.Scanner; public class cipher { public static void main(String[] args){ System.out.print("Caesar Cipher Number: "); Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); int cipherNumber = input.nextInt(); //takes user input System.out.println(replaceAlpha(cipherNumber)); //runs replaceAlpha which does the cipher work } public static String normalizeText(){ /* Remove spaces and non-letters from text */ System.out.print("Enter text to cipher: "); Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); String userInput = input.nextLine(); //takes user input String inputUpper = userInput.toUpperCase(); //converts input to UPPER case String removeSpaces = inputUpper.replaceAll("\\s+",""); //removes any spaces String removeNonLetters = removeSpaces.replaceAll("[^a-zA-Z]",""); //removes any non-letter characters String normlizedText = removeNonLetters; return(normlizedText); } public static String replaceAlpha(int cipher_shift){ String textToUse = normalizeText(); //runs normalizeText to take text input String letters = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"; String newString =""; int lengthOfText = textToUse.length(); for(int i=0;i<lengthOfText;i++){ char letter = textToUse.charAt(i); int postition = letters.indexOf(i); char replacedLetters = letters.charAt(i+cipher_shift); newString = newString+replacedLetters; } return(newString); } }
