What's wrong? I mean, I know that z is being converted into a
symbol, but how should I fix this?
If you take Z (25) and add 10, you get 35. You need to have it
identify and fix the problem, namely removing 26 from the result.
Assuming anything can be part of the input (and not just
letters), we instead do the following:
auto result = input.dup;
foreach(ref ch; result) {
if (ch >= 'A' && ch <= 'Z')
ch = ((ch+shift-'A') % 26) + 'A';
}
Alternatively if you do where every character is defined for
switching (and those not changing are the same) it could just be
a replacement & lookup.
