I was working on a problem where I needed to handle ASCII values within the alphabetical range. Specifically, if I add or subtract a value from a character, the result should wrap around the alphabet.
For example:
'z' + 2 should give 'b'
'a' - 2 should give 'y'
To achieve this, I used the following logic:
char c;
// Wrap around to the start of the alphabet
if (c > 'z')
c = c - 26;
// Wrap around to the end of the alphabet<hr>
if (c < 'a')
c = c + 26;
This ensures the character stays within the range of 'a' to 'z'.**
Is this approach efficient, or are there other ways to achieve the same result? Any insights or suggestions are welcome!
