Caesar cipher code for encrypting "Hello World"

The Caesar cipher is a basic encryption technique that shifts each letter in the input text by a fixed number of positions in the alphabet. Here is what a Caesar cipher code for encrypting "Hello World" would typically do:

  1. Convert "Hello World" into individual characters.
  2. Shift each alphabetic character by a specified number of positions.
    • Letters wrap around if they go past 'Z' for uppercase or 'z' for lowercase.
    • Non-alphabetic characters (like spaces) are left unchanged.
  3. Recombine the shifted characters into the encrypted text.

For example:

  • If the shift is 3:
    • 'H' becomes 'K'
    • 'e' becomes 'h'
    • 'l' becomes 'o'
    • Space stays as space
    • 'W' becomes 'Z'
  • Result: "Khoor Zruog"

In summary, this code would apply a Caesar cipher shift to encrypt the input text "Hello World" and produce the encoded output, like "Khoor Zruog" for a shift of 3.
