C++ encryption text file help

Expand Post »

i have the following code which works, well its suppose to shift the letters of a text file by whatever the user wants, lets say the text file says "hi" if the user wants to shift the letters by 1 to the right it will become "ij"
ok but the problem is when i want to shift a letter that goes over the alphabet, like lets say the word is "zoo" if i want to shift it by one the letter z will give me a random character that i dont want, the whole word should become "app"
anybody wants to help me fix this??

$ g++ -W -Wall -O2 -c foo.cpp
foo.cpp: In function ‘void rotateEncrypt(std::vector<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, std::allocator<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > > >, std::vector<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, std::allocator<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > > >, int)’:
foo.cpp:21: warning: suggest braces around empty body in an ‘if’ statement

Of course, you could have simply stepped this through the debugger and seen that your if statement was useless.
