Description:
Enhance the reliability of the existing Python cipher scripts (e.g., Caesar, AES) by adding input validation and exception handling. This improves the user experience and script robustness.
Expected Tasks:
- Review all Python files in the
ciphers/ folder
- Add
try-except blocks to handle:
- Non-string input
- Incorrect key sizes
- Unsupported characters
- Write meaningful error messages and avoid crashes
- Create a new file
ERROR_HANDLING.md to document:
- Types of handled errors
- Example error messages
Stretch Tasks:
- Use custom exception classes (e.g.,
InvalidKeyError)
- Add unit tests to verify error handling works
