Case Study Caesar Cipher

In this Case Study I have implemented Caesar Cipher using Python.

A Caesar cipher shifts each letter of a message to another letter in the alphabet located a fixed distance from the original letter. If our encryption key were 1, we would shift h to the next letter i, i to the next letter j, and so on. If we reach the end of the alphabet, which for us is the space character, we simply loop back to a. To decode the message, we make a similar shift, except we move the same number of steps backwards in the alphabet.
