Hi list! After this past week of no PC and no work, I'm again at the Python Challenge Cypher problem. I decided to go with the flow and solve it with maketrans (6 lines of code against the 40 and going I had already...) and it solved it quickly and clean!
However, and please be sure I don't want to re-invent any wheel, I still got some doubts unexplained... - How to correctly populate a list using, for instance, a for loop; - how to correctly use join to read the said list in a human friendly way... This was the code I was using. for letter in cypheredText: asciiValue = ord(letter) if asciiValue in range(97, 123): asciiValue += shiftedCypherNumber if asciiValue > 122: asciiValue -= 26 newLetter = chr(asciiValue) text = list() text.append(newLetter) joinedText = ' '.join(text) return joinedText Thanks for all your time and patience. Sorry for before not using Plain text!
