Anyone can teach me how to encrypt?

I feel kinda inferior and stupid here. I see many codes where the output is brought about my some kind of encryption, but whenever I try it, I simply can't. How do you encrypt? How? Please help me. Some examples of encryption in Java: https://code.sololearn.com/c65al3P8qlAp/?ref=app https://code.sololearn.com/cKpJv8d3wz68/?ref=app https://code.sololearn.com/cv0EnkQ8dxfP/?ref=app Please help me.

it's not encryption really just using ascii character codes . the 1st code just decodes base64 string to plain text. https://code.sololearn.com/cJviZDwqlJhg/?ref=app in 2nd code all it does is get next characters in place. https://code.sololearn.com/cOv67FFa8g4i/?ref=app

@Amrit okay then good luck 🍀with your endeavours 👍😎 fun fact: I had used a ASCII character cheat sheet to create the character shift code in ruby :)

@Amrit can you provide the link to the encrypted code mate? just like to see it, if you don't mind.

Do you have any examples? You can't just "encrypt code" because you'd need to decrypt it before running it.

Well you can just follow the code to see what happens. A char[] is more or less just a string, and each character has a so-called "ascii" or "utf-8" "character code", a number, that represents it. Uppercase "A" is 65, for example. So all you need to do is google "text to ascii code converter" and you are good. The third example uses binary, which is like our 10-digit-numbers (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0) but using just two digits (0,1).

@Schindlabua, I get all of that, my question is to help me a bit with the numbers. I understand what they did, but I need the ASCII codes for the characters.

Yeah as I said, google for "text to ascii converter"! Heres the first thing that comes up when you google that: http://www.unit-conversion.info/texttools/ascii/ Paste the text you want to numberify in there and you can use that in your code.

@Schindlabua, could you give me some image or a link to download a file which contains a table of ASCII codes? Thanks for that link. Please help me again.

Do you want to obfuscate it so nobody can read it?
