Caesar Cipher code issue with random keys and spaces
0
def message():
answer = input('Welcome to the Caesar Cipher! What do you want to encrypt?')
key = input('Enter the key number that you want to encrypt with. (1 - 25)')
return answer, int(key)
def getMessage(answer, key):
lengthList =
leng = 0
while leng < len(answer):
lengthList.append(chr(ord(answer[leng]) + key))
leng += 1
print("By the way, random keys are spaces.")
print("".join(lengthList))
answer, key = message()
getMessage(answer, key)
This is my Caesar Cipher Encryption Only code and my problem is that sometimes when I enter a message, some letters turn into different signs that are not letters. How do I make the printed message only include keys? I also need help that if there are spaces, it also turns into a different sign. How do you also make the spaces remain spaces?

It still doesn't meet my question of staying in the alphabet.

Without seeing an example, I'm guessing the leaving the alphabet problem is what happens if you have, for example, the character 'Z' andkey=1then the ciphered version of this character is '[', so you'll need to handle "wrapping" around. That point is addressed in the linked question/answer
