Caesar Cipher

[XML] [Smart Pascal] [JavaScript] [PHP] [Lua] [Dart] [Output]

This example encrypts lower case letters only by the "Caesar" or "shift" cipher. This moves each letter onwards by a fixed number of letters in the alphabet, looping round from z to a. The unencrypted or decrypted text is known as plaintext and the encrypted form is ciphertext.

See below the blocks, the XML representation of the blocks and the generated Smart Pascal code. We have used the Blockly playground to generate from the same blocks JavaScript, Python, PHP, Lua and Dart.
