Codigo Enigma -
Here is a simple implementation of the "Código Enigma" feature using Python 3.x:
User inputs: message = "Khoor, Zruog!" and key = 3 Decrypted message: Hello, World!
while True: print("1. Encrypt a message") print("2. Decrypt a message") print("3. Quit") codigo enigma
To protect the secret, the Allies sometimes had to make a terrible choice: if they knew a U-boat was about to sink a specific ship, they sometimes let it happen rather than reveal that they were reading German codes.
Invented by German engineer Arthur Scherbius after WWI, the Enigma was a portable cipher machine that looked like a typewriter in a wooden box. Its genius lay in its complexity. When an operator typed a letter, a series of rotating wheels (called rotors ) and a plugboard would scramble it into a different letter. For example, typing "A" might light up "Z." Here is a simple implementation of the "Código
During the dark years of World War II, the Atlantic Ocean became a hunting ground. German U-boats (submarines) prowled the shipping lanes, sinking millions of tons of Allied supplies. The weapon that made these "wolf packs" so deadly was not just a torpedo—it was information. The Germans communicated using a machine they believed produced an unbreakable code: the .
ULTRA provided proof of where U-boats were hunting, allowing convoys to reroute and avoid slaughter. It revealed Hitler’s troop movements before the D-Day landings. Historians estimate that breaking the Enigma code shortened the war in Europe by two to four years. Decrypt a message") print("3

The feature will be tested using the following test cases:
