I'm a beginner programmer trying to learn C. Currently I'm taking a class and had a project assigned which I managed to finish pretty quickly, at least the main part of it. I had some trouble coding around the main() if functions though, because I started using some new functions (that is, fgets and strncmp). Now, my code works in my compiler, but not in any of the online compilers. So I'm wondering if I did something wrong with it, or if there is any way I can improve it.
Any help or contribution is appreciated, thanks!
Below is the code, the encrypt and decrypt functions are the first two functions before the main, where I believe most of the messy shortcut-code might be.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
char * Encrypt(char sentence[])
{
int primes[12] = {1,2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31};
int x = 0;
int counter = 0;
int ispositive = 1;
while(sentence[x] != 0)
{
if (counter == 0)
{
ispositive = 1;
}
else if(counter == 11)
{
ispositive = 0;
}
if (ispositive == 1)
{
sentence[x] = sentence[x] + primes[counter];
counter++;
}
else if (ispositive == 0)
{
sentence[x] = sentence[x] + primes[counter];
counter--;
}
x++;
}
return sentence;
}
char * Decrypt(char sentence[])
{
int primes[12] = {1,2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31};
int x = 0;
int counter = 0;
int ispositive = 1;
while(sentence[x] != 0)
{
if (counter == 0)
{
ispositive = 1;
}
else if(counter == 11)
{
ispositive = 0;
}
if (ispositive == 1)
{
sentence[x] = sentence[x] - primes[counter];
counter++;
}
else if (ispositive == 0)
{
sentence[x] = sentence[x] - primes[counter];
counter--;
}
x++;
}
return sentence;
}
int main()
{
char message[100];
char input[7];
char *p;
int c;
int condition = 1;
while(condition == 1)
{
printf("Would you like to Encrypt or Decrypt a message? (Type TurnOff to end the program) \n \n");
fgets(input,7, stdin);
fflush(stdin);
if (!strncmp(input,"Encrypt",strlen(input)))
{
printf("\n \n Enter the message you want to Encrypt below: \n \n");
fgets(message, 100, stdin);
Encrypt(message);
printf("\n Your encrypted message is: ");
printf("%s", message);
fflush(stdin);
printf("\n \n");
}
else if (!strncmp(input,"Decrypt",strlen(input)))
{
printf("\n \n Enter the message you want to Decrypt below: \n \n");
fgets(message, 100, stdin);
Decrypt(message);
printf("\n Your Decrypted message is: ");
printf("%s", message);
fflush(stdin);
printf("\n \n");
}
else if (!strncmp(input,"TurnOff",strlen(input)))
{
printf("\n \n Thank you for using the program! \n \n");
condition = 0;
}
else
{
printf("That's not a valid input \n \n");
}
}
}
