Lab 10: Instructor's Notes

Today's exercise has students encode and decode the characters in a file using the Caesar cipher. The exercise has two parts:

1. In the first part, the exercise helps students complete the file Encode.java, which contains a program that encodes a message using the Caesar cipher.
2. In the second part, students apply what they have learned in the first part to complete Decode.java, which contains a program to decode a message encoded using the Caesar cipher.

Also provided is a file message.text, which contains a simple message that can be used to test Encode.java; and a file alice.code that contains an encoded message that can be used to test Decode.java.
