What kind of codes? Or do you mean ciphers? Generally speaking, a code represent letters or numbers in transmitting a message. In other words, a code deals with phrases and sentences or whole words. Example "steal the cabbage at dawn" could mean "kill the king on wednesday". A cipher deals with letters. It is a message written in letters in a predetermined code. This means that a cipher is a system of communication that uses letters instead of phrases. Examples being the standard Caesar cipher where "APPLE" might be written "BQQMB" (ie, shifted one letter to the right). -- best regards, Robert S. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
