Ciphers

Python module for implementing ciphers

Methods

Get Letter Value

Gets the A-Z value of a character

def get_letter_value(letter: str) -> int:
    '''Get the value of an English letter (A = 0, B = 1, C = 2 ...)'''
    return ord(letter) - 65

To Run

get_letter_value(letter)

Get Letter From Value

Gets the character from an A-Z value

def get_letter_from_value(value: int) -> str:
    '''Get the English letter from a value (A = 0, B = 1, C = 2 ...)'''
    return chr(value + 65)

Caeser Cipher

Performs a Caeser Cipher on a given string with given shift Negative shift means shifting left

def caeser_cipher(text: str, shift: int, decode: bool = False) -> str:
    '''
    Caeser Cipher\n
    Shifts {text} {shift} amount in positive/negative direction (Right/Left respectively)\n
    Set {decode} to True to decode {text} with shift {shift}
    '''
    # Make everything Upper Case
    text.upper()

    # Begin
    result: str = ""
    for letter in text:
        # Get Value of each Letter
        value: int = get_letter_value(letter)
        # Get Letter from Value

        # Get Letter from Value
        new_letter: str = get_letter_from_value((letter_value + key_value) % 26)
        result += new_letter

    return result
