I'm writing a program to perform simple caesar decryption and encryption. I looked at the tutorial via the link http://www.math.stonybrook.edu/~scott/papers/MSTP/crypto/3Caesar_Cipher.html. My question is that to encrypt the string abcde fghij klmno pqrst uvwxy z to XYZAB CDEFG HIJKL MNOPQ RSTUV W. Do we need to shift the letters by 23 instead of 3 if we ignore the upper case? Also, the encryption of the string veni vidi vici seems to be incorrect. I got SBKF SFAF SFZF not SBKF SFGF SFZF

You shift in the wrong direction. The website shits the string to left by 3 letter2. You are thinking about shifting the string to right. – errorcodemonkey Oct 16 '20 at 01:39
