I'm having trouble trying to work out an error in my code. It isn't printing the final product and leaving a blank space.
playing = True
string = ""
Alphabet = ('z','a','b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z')
while playing == True:
string = ""
eord = input('Type "d" to "decrypt" and "e" to "encrypt": ')
if eord == 'e':
texte = input ("Type your word to encrypt: ")
key1 = int(input("Choose a key between 1-26: "))
for letter in texte:
number = (ord(letter)) + (key1)
letter=(chr(number))
string = (str(string)) + (str(letter))
print (string)
keyword = input ("Type 'encrypt' code further or 'decrypt' further: ")
if keyword == 'encrypt':
plainText = input("Please enter the plain text: ")
key = input("Please enter the key: ")
keyList = []
keyLength = 0
while keyLength < len(plainText):
for char in key:
if keyLength < len(plainText):
keyList.append(str(char))
keyLength = keyLength + 1
CipherText = []
IndexValue = 0
keyIncrement = 0
for plainTextChar in plainText:
IndexValue = Alphabet.index(keyList[keyIncrement]) + Alphabet.index(plainTextChar)
while IndexValue > 26:
IndexValue = IndexValue - 26
CipherText.append(Alphabet[IndexValue])
keyIncrement = keyIncrement + 1
print (''.join(CipherText))
import sys
sys.stdout.flush()
finish = input('Would you like to go again Y or N')
if finish == 'n' or 'N':
retry = input ("Would you like to go again? Y or N: ")
if retry == 'N' or 'n':
print ("Please exit the window")
import sys
sys.exit()
elif eord == 'd':
texd = input ("Type your word to decrypt: ")
key2 = int(input("Choose a key between 1-16: "))
for letter in texd:
number = (ord(letter)) - (key2)
letter=(chr(number))
string = (str(string)) + (str(letter))
print (string)
keyword = input ("Type 'encrypt' code further or 'decrypt' further: ")
if keyword == 'decrypt':
plainText = input("Please enter the plain text: ")
key = input("Please enter the key: ")
keyList = []
keyLength = 0
while keyLength < len(plainText):
for char in key:
if keyLength < len(plainText):
keyList.append(str(char))
keyLength = keyLength - 1
completeCipherText = []
cipherCharIndexValue = 0
keyIncrement = 0
for plainTextChar in plainText:
cipherCharIndexValue = Alphabet.index(keyList[keyIncrement]) + Alphabet.index(plainTextChar)
while cipherCharIndexValue > 26:
cipherCharIndexValue = cipherCharIndexValue + 26
completeCipherText.append(Alphabet[cipherCharIndexValue])
keyIncrement = keyIncrement - 1
print (''.join(completeCipherText))
finish = input('Would you like to go again Y or N')
if finish == 'n' or 'N':
retry = input ("Would you like to go again? Y or N: ")
if retry == 'N' or 'n':
print ("Please exit the window")
import sys
sys.exit()
Is there a way i can fix this or force it to print?
Here is the output of the code.
Type "d" to "decrypt" and "e" to "encrypt": e
Type your word to encrypt: hello
Choose a key between 1-26: 3
khoor
Type 'encrypt' code further or 'decrypt' further: encrypt
Please enter the plain text: python
Please enter the key: cipher
Would you like to go again Y or N
You have the problem with tab spacing. Concretely here:
For the first pass the IndexValue is 19, so it skips also CipherText append. And therefore there is nothing to print out.
Correct indentation here:
Then again you are asking whether to finish when still in the encrypting for loop.
However you have other flaws in your design. If the key is longer than 1 char you end up in Index error due to the keyList having just just 1 item. While you expect more items in keyList in the for loop.
