Vigenere fails check50 test encrypts "BaRFoo" as "CaQGon" using "BaZ" error, my program output is "caQGoh".
I don't know what's the problem but i guess that this problem apears when there are different letter cases(lowercase and uppercase)plus the variance is about 6 shifts.
P.s : I am kind of new to programing and I am trying my best to use function.
Thanks for help :D
