# Exercise XX - Caesar cipher Implement the legendary Caesar cipher: > In cryptography, a Caesar cipher, also known as Caesar's cipher, the shift cipher, Caesar's code or Caesar shift, is one of the simplest and most widely known encryption techniques. It is a type of substitution cipher in which each letter in the plaintext is replaced by a letter some fixed number of positions down the alphabet. For example, with a left shift of 3, D would be replaced by A, E would become B, and so on. The method is named after Julius Caesar, who used it in his private correspondence. Hint: You may need to convert letters to their unicode values. Be sure to read the documentation! write a function that takes a string to be encoded and a shift factor and then returns the encoded string: ```javascript caesar('A', 1) // simply shifts the letter by 1: returns 'B' ``` the cipher should retain capitalization: ```javascript caesar('Hey', 5) // returns 'Mjd; ``` should _not_ shift punctuation: ```javascript caesar('Hello, World!', 5) //returns 'Mjqqt, Btwqi!' ``` the shift should wrap around the alphabet: ```javascript caesar('Z', 1) // returns 'A' ``` negative numbers should work as well: ```javascript caesar('Mjqqt, Btwqi!', -5) // returns 'Hello, World!' ```
