Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Caesar Cipher is a type of shift cipher. Shift Ciphers work by using the modulo operator to encrypt and decrypt messages. The Shift Cipher has a key K, which is an integer from 0 to 25. We will only share this key with people that we want to see our message.

Detailed explanation-2: -How to decrypt using the shift cipher? Decryption requires knowing the shift used and the alphabet. Take a letter in position N in the alphabet that has been encrypted by a shift of X, it must be shifted by-X to return to its original position N-X .

Detailed explanation-3: -The Caesar Cipher program in C is a simple and old method to convert data into secret code. It provides a method to encrypt and decrypt the given information. It shifts the current character to a couple of characters in a cyclic manner. As it is simple it is easy to implement and thus, also easy to crack.
