I cannot figure out why this thing doesn't scramble correctly. I read some other posts on this cipher and as far as I can tell I'm using the exact same algorithm as they are...
The areas commented out are tests I tried to make sure everything was passing through correctly. I believe it all goes through correctly then fails in the algorithm.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <cs50.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
string get_message(void);
string scramble(string key, string message);
int main(int argc, string argv[])
{
if(argc == 2)
{
string key;
string message;
key = argv[1];
//printf("KEY: %s<<",key);
message = get_message();
scramble(key, message);
}
else
{
printf("Please enter 2 arguments.\n");
return 1;
}
}
string get_message(void)
{
string message = "";
do
{
message = GetString();
}
while(strlen(message) < 1);
return message;
}
string scramble(string key,string message)
{
for(int i = 0, len = strlen(message), key_len = strlen(key); i < len; i++)
{
int letter = message[i];
//int Tkey = atoi(key[i % key_len]);
//printf("KEY: %d<<\n",Tkey);
if(islower(letter))
{
//printf("KEY(%d)",(key[i % key_len]-97));
letter = (((letter - 97) + (key[i % key_len])) % 26 + 97);
//printf("(%d)",(letter - 97) + (key[i % key_len])%26);
printf("%c",letter);
}
else if(isupper(letter))
{
//printf("(%d)", key[i]);
//printf("(%c)",letter); WE HAVE CORRECT LETTER
letter = (((letter - 65) + (key[i % key_len])) % 26 + 65);
printf("%c",letter);
}
}
printf("\n");
return 0;
}
