How can the Caesar cipher be implemented in Java?
The Caesar cipher is a substitution cipher in which the letters of an ordered alphabet are cyclically shifted by a given number. A detailed description can be found e.g. [here][1]. Let `u` be the index of the letter to be encrypted in the alphabet, `shift` the shift and `size` the number of letters of the alphabet, then the following applies to the index `v` of the encrypted letter: ```none v = mod(u + shift, size) ``` and for decryption: ```none u = mod(v - shift, size) ``` How can this algorithm be implemented in Java?
