Help about encode and decode text

[pzycloN3]

Basically, i need a code to encode and decode a text combined only by capital letters and blank spaces. The text needs to be encoded on a way that every letter is changed by ascii code is raised by the smallest figure of a random entered three-digit number. The text and the numbers have to be different. And this is what i got, i could use a bit help, THANKS YOU UPWORDS AND ALOT !

  #include<iostream>
#include<string>	

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	// KEYS TO BE USED
	const int ROT13 = 13, ROT7 = 7;

	cout << endl << " Enter a string of text. Press ENTER when finished. " << endl << endl;
	cout << " Text: ";

	string text;
	getline(cin, text);

	string encText = text; // text to encrypt
	
	for (size_t i = 0; i < encText.size(); i++)
	{
		encText[i] = encText[i] + ROT13;

		if (encText[i] % 5 == 0)
			encText[i] = encText[i] + ROT7;
		//encText;  // Add or removing this had no effect
	}

	cout << endl << "Encrypted text is " << endl << encText << endl;
	string decText = encText;  // Text to decrypt

	for (size_t i = 0; i < decText.size(); i++)
	{
		decText[i] = decText[i] - ROT13;

		if (decText[i] % 5 == 0)
			decText[i] = decText[i] - ROT7;
		//decText;
	}

	cout << endl << "Decrypted text is " << endl << decText << endl << endl;
	return 0;
}

Try doing a single character by hand. Suppose the character code is 12:
Line 21 sets it to 12+13=25.
25 is divisible by 5 so line 24 sets it to 25+7=32.

Now look at the decode part.
Line 33 sets it to 32=13 = 19.
19 is not divisible by 5 so line 36 isn't executed

The So the decoded character is 19, which is wrong.

My advice is to work out the algorithm by hand with a few characters. Once you're pretty sure you have the algorithm right, convert it to code.

Do you have another user name?

You see, your code is EXACTLY the same as

You know, monkeys and typewriters and all that ...!

Well, I don't believe "this is what I got".

And I don't see what this has got to do with "every letter is changed by ascii code is raised by the smallest figure of a random entered three-digit number".

Make an effort - by yourself - maybe someone will try to help you.
Rip off somebody else's code and try to pass it off as your own - well, not convinced anyone will want to look at it.
