So currently I am working on a Caesar cypher app, my code looks like this (coded by RAD software https://anvil.works/)
The problem is that I don't get any output when I try to run the program and I think that it could be self.text_area_2 = cipher_encrypt(plain_text, key). I'm not sure if I'm using the correct statement to display the output correctly.
What statement should I use instead? Am I doing the right thing?
from ._anvil_designer import Form2Template
from anvil import *
class Form2(Form2Template):
def __init__(self, **properties):
# Set Form properties and Data Bindings.
self.init_components(**properties)
def button_1_click(self, **event_args):
def cipher_encrypt(plain_text, key):
plain_text = self.text_area_1.text
key = self.text_box_1.text
encrypted = ""
for c in plain_text:
if c.isupper(): #check if it's an uppercase character
c_index = ord(c) - ord('A')
# shift the current character by key positions
c_shifted = (c_index + key) % 26 + ord('A')
c_new = chr(c_shifted)
encrypted += c_new
elif c.islower(): #check if its a lowecase character
# subtract the unicode of 'a' to get index in [0-25) range
c_index = ord(c) - ord('a')
c_shifted = (c_index + key) % 26 + ord('a')
c_new = chr(c_shifted)
encrypted += c_new
elif c.isdigit():
# if it's a number,shift its actual value
c_new = (int(c) + key) % 10
encrypted += str(c_new)
else:
# if its neither alphabetical nor a number, just leave it like that
encrypted += c
return encrypted
self.text_area_2 = cipher_encrypt(plain_text, key)
