The following is the assignment:

1. Start with a sequence of three integers, each between 0 and 26 inclusive.
2. Each character in the message is applied to one of the three integers to produce an encrypted message,
as in the example below:
Three-integer key is: 12 5 16
Text is: Mr. Whiskers
Each character in the text is applied to one of the three keys, in sequence:
This translates to: Yw. Bxuxaqwi
M r . W h i s k e r s
12 5 16 12 5 16 12 5 16 12 5 16

In the encryption, each key is added to its corresponding letter. For example, ‘M’ + 12 = ‘Y’. Also
notice that letters “wrap-around” the alphabet, as in ‘W’ + 5 = ‘B’.
Furthermore, note that the space in the example is treated as a character and has a corresponding key,
but the calculation is not applied. The same holds true for the ‘.’ character. The encryption is only
applied to uppercase and lowercase alphabetic letters. All other characters in the input stream are left
unchanged and echoprinted to the output.
Your job is to write a program that will decrypt Austin Powers’ secret messages in the exact opposite
way they are encrypted. Austin will provide the encrypted messages to you. Your program must do the
following:
1. Ask the user for a file name to decrypt. File names cannot contain blanks and must have at most 25
characters.
2. Accept three integer keys as input. These integers must be values between 0 and 26, inclusive. You
may assume that the user does enter an integer whenever asked for an integer.
3. Echo the keys to the output for verification.
3. Read each character in the file and output the decrypted message to the console (you do not have to
output to a file). **NOTE: Read the characters one by one. For each character read in, first decrypt it,
and then output the decrypted character to the console. THEN go get the next character.
4. Ask if the user wants to continue. If yes, repeat. If no, then print a closing message and terminate the
program



I have done the following code, but I am kind of lost on how to use a counter with the three keys and how to make it print as a paragraph and not one character per line.

The following is an example of a message and the key:

Functions would make your life a lot easier.

As an aside, it looks like you've gotten a lot further than acidfire00: http://www.dreaminco...yption-program/

I think in lines 52,61 and 71, it will be a lot better if you could use conditional statements using 'if' instead of while.
