+
+---
+
+# Enciphering and deciphering
+
+## Arithmetic on letters
+
+Convert .plaintext[letter] → .plaintext[number] →
+.ciphertext[number] → .ciphertext[letter]
+
+Functions you will need
+
+```python
+ord()
+
+chr()
+
+mod()
+```
+
+* What are good test cases?
---
```python
import string
+
string.ascii_letters
string.ascii_lowercase
string.ascii_uppercase
string.punctuation
```
+---
+# DRY and YAGNI
+
+Is your code DRY?
+
---
# Doctest
* Why document?
* Why test?
+```python
+def caesar_encipher_letter(letter, shift):
+ """Encipher a letter, given a shift amount
+
+ >>> caesar_encipher_letter('a', 1)
+ 'b'
+ """
+ if letter in string.ascii_letters:
+```
+
+---
+
+# My tests
+
+```python
+def caesar_encipher_letter(letter, shift):
+ """Encipher a letter, given a shift amount
+
+ >>> caesar_encipher_letter('a', 1)
+ 'b'
+ >>> caesar_encipher_letter('a', 2)
+ 'c'
+ >>> caesar_encipher_letter('b', 2)
+ 'd'
+ >>> caesar_encipher_letter('x', 2)
+ 'z'
+ >>> caesar_encipher_letter('y', 2)
+ 'a'
+ >>> caesar_encipher_letter('z', 2)
+ 'b'
+ >>> caesar_encipher_letter('z', -1)
+ 'y'

# The magic doctest incantation
# Doing all the letters
+## Test-first developement
+
+1. Write the tests.
+ * They will fail. There is no code.
+2. Write code until the tests pass.
+3. Refactor.
+
+---
+
+# Doing all the letters
+
## Abysmal
```python
# Doing all the letters
-## (Merely) Bad
+## Bad
```python
ciphertext = ''
## Good (but unPythonic)
```python
-ciphertext = map(lambda p: caesar_encipher_letter(p, key),
- plaintext)
+ciphertext = map(lambda p: caesar_encipher_letter(p, key), plaintext)
```
---
## Best
```python
-ciphertext = [caesar_encipher_letter(p, key)
- for p in plaintext]
+ciphertext = [caesar_encipher_letter(p, key) for p in plaintext]
```
+---
+
+# Not all iterables are equal
+```python
+''.join()
+```
