Caesar Cipher Coding Activity

The document contains a C# source code for a Caesar Cipher application that can encrypt and decrypt text based on a user-defined shift value. It includes methods for encryption and decryption, along with event handlers for user interactions such as button clicks and text input. The encryption process shifts letters while leaving non-letter characters unchanged, and the decryption process reverses the shift to retrieve the original text.

Encryption Process:
• The Encrypt method takes an input string and a shift value.
• It loops through each character of the input text:
• If the character is a letter, it shifts it by the given value within the
alphabet's range using modular arithmetic.
• If the character is not a letter, it remains unchanged.
• The shifted characters are concatenated to form the encrypted result.

Decryption Process:
• The Decrypt method reverses the encryption process by shifting the
characters backward using 26 - shift, effectively undoing the original shift.
• It reuses the Encrypt function by shifting in the opposite direction.
