It’s a little thing, but the instructions for the “Rotational Cipher” exercise say, “The Caesar cipher … relies on transposing all the letters in the alphabet using an integer key between 0 and 26,” but since there are 26 letters in the English alphabet, the index must be between 0 and 25, right?
Not exactly. ROT26 will return the value as ROT0 because you are working Modular arithmetic on this exercise as stated in the instructions. This implies that ROT27 and ROT1 will also produce identical outcomes, and the pattern continues similarly.
Got it. I was thinking of an array index.
