new place = (old place + shift) % 26
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, compare your working with the solution.
Move every letter places along the alphabet.
HELLO: , , , , . The code is KHOOR.KHOOR, move every letter places back: HELLO.XYZ wraps round: , , . It becomes ABC.The % 26 in the program does the wrapping.
