Your formula is correct as well as the understanding of the formula, only that you are mixing two things in a wrong way, look carefully at the following expression:

why does this code not ask for a string?
It will. If you do not supply any command line arguments. Try it.

argc will always be at least 1, the name of the program.

If this is for example for Caesar cipher and you're running ./caesar 2 then key should indeed be set to an integer of 2 as argv[0] is the program name and argv[1] is the string 2.

then add cipher
