'You are given string that was encoded by Caesar cipher with an unknown distance value The text can contain any of the printable ASCII characters. Suggest] an algorithm for cracking this code'
Added by Brendan W.
Step 1
Since the text can contain any printable ASCII character, determine the range of ASCII codes for these characters (for example, from 32 for space to 126 for tilde), which gives a total of 95 characters. Show more…
