It would also be nice to incorporate the ablitly import a txt document to be coded or decoded. For now I want to get this working.

Thanks in advance for any help and/or advice.

the question is about caesar cipher, mention it in the title and add the tag

Letter Altering Code (by word length) in Pyhton

Here is a code I'm working on that alters a individual letters.Each letter is pumped up x amount of letters. This alteration is dependent on the length of the word.

So for instance "hi" becomes "jk", "there" becomes "ymjwj", and thus "hi there" is "jk ymjwj".

I want to this code to not encrypt put to also decrypt messages. So the user could translate, "jk ymjwj" back to hi there using this formula.

Right now when the code is ran in terminal it produces indentation errors. I am still a python newbie so I'm uncertain how to fix these specific issues.`
