 # Caesar Cipher
 
-The Caesar cipher, also known as a shift cipher, is one of the simplest forms of encryption. It is a substitution cipher where each letter in the original message (called the plaintext) is replaced with a letter corresponding to a certain number of letters up or down in the alphabet.
+The Caesar Cipher is a type of 'shift cyper' where each letter of the original
+message is replaced with a letter a certain distance up or down the alphabet
+(called the 'shift length' or key).
 
+For example, a Caeser Cipher is applied to the message `"Cat"` with a shift
+length of `3` would return `"Fdx"`. Each letter in the cipher text (encrypted
+message) is 3 letters down the alphabet from the original letter.

+In this exercise, a message and key (between -25 and 25) will be passed in as
+the second and third arguments, respectively. Your program must return the
+cipher text.

 ## HINTS
 
-Create a new file with a `.js` extension and start writing JavaScript! Make sure you're function is exported from the node module. Execute your program by running it with the `node` command. e.g.:

-```sh

 When you are done, you must run:
 
-```sh
-$ {appname} verify program.js
-```
+```sh $ {appname} verify program.js ```
 
-to proceed. Your program will be tested, a report will be generated, and the lesson will be marked 'completed' if you are successful.
