Caesar Cipher You have an integer key k and a text T and you want to rotate all the letters in T by k. What is the encryption for k=3 and a text of “ABCD”? Java represents characters internally as numbers, so you may achieve the desired effect by converting the character to an integer, adding k to it, and converting back to a char. What is the encryption for k=3 and a text of “ZzZz”? If you simply add k to 'Z', you will not get 'C’ -- you need to circle around and get back to the beginning, paying attention to whether the letter is uppercase or lowercase What arithmetic operator helps you circle back around?

Vigenere Cipher For Vigenere, the idea is similar except the key is not an integer but rather a word. If the keyword is "ABCD“, Vigenere will encrypt by shifting the first letter by 0, the second by 1, the third by 2, the fourth by 3, the fifth by 0, the sixth by 1, and so on in a cyclic manner. The trick is to compute the shift equivalent of each letter (e.g., 'a' corresponds to a shift of 0, 'b' to a shift of 1, etc) and cycling through the keyword to get the current shift amount. Other than that, things are pretty similar to Caesar.

Useful Char Methods Character.isLetter - takes a character and returns true if the character ch is a letter. Character.isLowerCase - takes a character and returns true if the character ch is lowercase. Character.isUpperCase - takes a character and returns true if the character ch is uppercase.

Exercise Exercise: Write a method that takes a string, replaces all uppercase letters with a + (plus) and all lowercase letters with a - (minus), and returns the modified string. All characters that are not letters should be left unchanged.

upperPlusLowerMinus public static String upperPlusLowerMinus(String inString) { }

upperPlusLowerMinus public static String upperPlusLowerMinus(String inString) { String outString = ""; char ch; for(int i = 0; i < inString.length(); i++) { ch = inString.charAt(i); if (Character.isLetter(ch)) if (Character.isUpperCase(ch)) outString += “+"; else outString += “-"; else outString += Character.toString(ch); } return outstring; }

BigInteger For very large numbers java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java /math/BigInteger.html java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java /math/BigInteger.html Import java.math.BigInteger; BigInteger num = new BigInteger(" "); BigInteger num2 = new BigInteger("3");

BigInteger Methods num.isProbablePrime(certainty) returns true if num is prime with certainty (1 - 1/2^certainty) and false if it is definitely not prime num.remainder(num2) returns num % num2 as a BigInteger num.compareTo(num2) returns -1, 0 or 1 as num is less than, equal to, or greater than num2 num.add(number2) returns sum of num, num2 num.toString() converts BigInteger back into a String.
