Hi,
This simple encoding code converts text to ASCII and adds a one digit number to it. It seems to work ok, but while testing it, I noticed that if a 'v' is used, it's converted to ' ' when a 9 is added to it. (probably bc it's hitting ascii 127 - delete). Is there a way to fix it?
TIA

encoded_txt = '' key = 0 def encode_text(): global encoded_txt, key arry = [] txt = input("Enter an alphanumeric text: ") while True: try: key = int(input('Enter a single digit number: ')) if key > 9: n = 1 / 0 # force to fail break except: print("That's not a valid option!") # fill array with entered text for _ in range(len(txt)): arry.append(txt[_]) # add pass to characters for char in range(len(arry)): x = ord(arry[char]) + key # convert ascii to char encoded_txt += chr(x) print("Encoded text:", encoded_txt) encode_text()
Output:Enter an alphanumeric text: vince
Enter a single digit number: 9
New text: rwln
Decoded text: vince
