I am currently trying to write a program, for school, in order to encrypt and decrypt a inputted message. I need the encrypted or decrypted message to only be in the alphabet no
def getOffset():
offset = -1
while not 0 < offset < 25:
try: offset = int(input("Please enter an integer offset between 1 and 25: "))
except ValueError: continue
return offset
def encrypt(msg, offset):
base = ord('a')
chars = (ord(char)-base for char in msg)
cipher = (base + ((c+offset)%26) for c in chars)
return ''.join([chr(c) for c in cipher])
decrypt = lambda msg,offset: encrypt(msg, -offset)
def main():
msg = """Please choose
[1] to encrypt
[2] to decrypt
[3] to exit
"""
funcs = {1: encrypt, 2: decrypt}
while True:
try: choice = int(input(msg))
except ValueError: continue
if choice == 3: return
message = input("Please enter the message that you would like to {}: ".format(funcs[choice].__name__))
offset = int(input("Please enter the offset: "))
print(funcs[choice](message, offset))
