Caesar Cipher ⬀

Julius Caesar protected his confidential information by encrypting it using a cipher. Caesar's cipher shifts each letter by a number of letters. If the shift takes you past the end of the alphabet, just rotate back to the front of the alphabet. In the case of a rotation by 3, w, x, y and z would map to z, a, b and c.

Original alphabet:      abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Alphabet rotated +3:    defghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabc

Example

s = There's-a-starman-waiting-in-the-sky
k = 3

The alphabet is rotated by 3, matching the mapping above. The encrypted string is Wkuh'v-d-vwdupdq-zdlwlqj-lq-wkh-vnb.

Note: The cipher only encrypts letters; symbols, such as -, remain unencrypted.

Function Description

Complete the caesarCipher function in the editor below.

caesarCipher has the following parameter(s):

  • string s: cleartext
  • int k: the alphabet rotation factor

Returns

  • string: the encrypted string

Input Format

  • The first line contains the integer, n, the length of the unencrypted string.
  • The second line contains the unencrypted string, s.
  • The third line contains k, the number of letters to rotate the alphabet by.

Constraints

  • 1 ≤ n ≤ 100
  • 1 ≤ k ≤ 100
  • s is a valid ASCII string without any spaces.

Sample Input

11
middle-Outz
2

Sample Output

okffng-Qwvb
