• 字符串格式化（字符串插值）

3.1 暴力破译

• 所谓暴力破译就是穷举所有可能的密钥，直到找出正确解密密钥的破译方法。

3.2 凯撒加密法破译的源代码

# Caesar Cipher Hanker
# 暴力破译凯撒密码

message = 'GUVF VF ZL FRPERG ZRFFNTR.'
LETTERS = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'

# loop through every possible key
for key in range(len(LETTERS)):

    # It is important to set translated to the blank string so that the
    # previous iteration's value for translated is cleared.
    translated = ''

    # The rest of the program is the same as the original Caesar program

    # run the encryption/decryption code on each symbol in the message
    for symbol in message:
        if symbol in LETTERS:
            num = LETTERS.find(symbol)    # get the number of the symbol
            num = num - key

            # handle the wrap-around if num is 26 or larger or less than 0
            if num < 0:
                num = num + len
