Caesar Cipher Program

[Hydra]

I have to code a Caesar cipher program for my assessment. Which basically off sets the alphabet by a set amount. For example, an offset of 1 would make A go to B, B go to C, C go to D ect. I'm wondering how I will do this in small basic(an easier version of Visual Basic). If anyone has any ideas how i can do this, doesn't have to be code, will help. Thanks.

I have absolutely no experience with basic/visual basic...but would knowing how to do it in Java/C++ be heplful?

Yes i suppose? I'm thinking of putting each character into ASCII number, adding the offset then turning the new ASCII number back into a character..

Something like this:

string word = "Hello"; string shiftedWord = ""; //initialized to an empty string as I dont like dealing with nulls int shift = 1; char shiftedLetter = '';  //initialized to an empty char as I dont like nullsfor(int i; i<word.length(); i++){    char currentLetter = word.charAt(i);     shiftedLetter = (((currentLetter - 65)+shift)%26)+65; //adds the shift to the letter and loops around from Z-->A                                                                 //if need be    shiftedWord += shiftedLetter;}

wow thanks

just have to convert that into a much less powerful small basic grr
