Python Caesar Cipher
A Caesar Cipher is something that Julius Caesar used to send secret messages to his troops when he didn’t want the wrong people to be able to read his messages. He encoded the messages by shifting the alphabet by a specific number of letters, or key, and only gave the special key to the person who he wanted to be able to read the message. You can build your own cipher encrypter using code!
