Extracted text: Assignment 7B: Caesar Cipher. One of the simplest methods to encrypt a message is to "shift" the letters by a literal value. For example, if we take the letter 'A' and shift it by 2, we get 'C'. This "substitution cipher" gets its name from the Roman emperor Julius Caesar, who was one of the first person known to encode secret messages this way. For this assignment, you will create a program that prompts the user for a message to encode, as well as an offset to encrypt it with. You will then create and use the following methods: A validation method that takes in the message (as a string) and the offset integer entered by the user. The method should return "true" if the offset is between 0 and 26 inclusively and the message contains only letters and spaces. If it fails either criteria, it should return “false". If the validation method returns true, a second encryption method should be called. This method also takes in the message (as a string) and the offset integer entered by the user. It should convert the message to UPPERCASE, encrypt every letter in the message, and leave the spaces as they were. It should then return the encrypted message. Hint: The computer treats chars like integers in many ways, meaning you can add and subtract numbers from them. A string is really an array of chars, and there are methods in each language to get chars out of the string. Hint: What happens if our offset makes the letter go past 'Z'? There are several ways deal with this – we can either use the modulus operator creatively, or use a loop to add the offset value one at a time. In the latter case, if the letter becomes greater than 'Z' (note the single quotes), we can reset it back to 'A' and keep going.
