Pset2 Caesar: extra letter printed at the end of ciphertext
Currently it looks like you're looping through your ciphertext from 0 up to strlen(plaintext), however, you assigned ciphertext the size of strlen(plaintext)+1.
Here's what's happening: The GetString(...

I'm stuck at PSet 2 Caesar Cipher: The alphabets don't follow my modulo 26. It goes beyond it, printing non-alphabetic characters
The problem lies here:
int asciiValue = plaintext[i]+key%26;
Simply put, it won't work at all. plaintext[i] contains an ASCII value for a letter. That's a number somewhere between 65 and 122 ...

pset2 caesar please help

So, if you enter, say d and a key of 5, then:
cipher = ('d' + 5) % 26
cipher = (100 + 5) % 26
cipher = 1
1 is a non printable char.
The formula for caesar given in the pset ...

code = code + user_key % 26;
Assuming that you haven't altered the formula in your conversion to pseudocode, it has two ...

Vigenere code still rotates for nonalpha
You're on the right track that something is wrong with J. The problem is that you've tied the index for the key, j, to the index for text, i. int j = i % strlen(keyword); You are probably seeing the ...
