RailFence Transformation

The Java code implements the rail fence cipher encryption and decryption algorithm. It takes an input string, encrypts it by alternating characters between two output strings, and concatenates the output strings. It then decrypts the encrypted string by splitting it in half and alternating characters back to the original string.

//mahesh ur program is right just
few changes in decryption:

using same logic i just have added taking input


from user using buffered reader
import java.io.*;
public class rail{

public static void main(String [] args)throws


IOException
{
BufferedReader in=new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.println(Enter The String: );
String input=in.readLine();
String output=;
int l=input.length();
System.out.println(You have Provided : +input);
for(int i=0;i<l;i+=2)
{
output +=input.charAt(i);
}
for(int i=1;i<l;i+=2)
{
output += input.charAt(i);
}
System.out.println("Ciphered Text : "+output);
}
}

Same Code With A Different Method


also inputs from user :
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class railfence {
public static void main(String args[])
{
String input = ;
String output = ;
System.out.println(Enter PlainText : );
Scanner ip = new Scanner(System.in);
input=ip.nextLine();
int len = input.length();
System.out.println(Input String : + input);
for(int i=0;i<len;i+=2)
{
output += input.charAt(i);
}

for(int i=1;i<len;i+=2)
{
output += input.charAt(i);
}
System.out.println("Ciphered Text : "+output);
String dcr1="";
String dcr2="";
int c=len/2;
if(len%2==0)
{
for(int i=0;i<c;i++)
{
dcr1 += output.charAt(i);
dcr2 += output.charAt(c+i);
}
String dcr="";
for(int i=0;i<c;i++)
{
dcr+=dcr1.charAt(i);
dcr+=dcr2.charAt(i);
}
System.out.println(dcr);
}

else
{
dcr1=output.substring(1,(c+1));
dcr2=output.substring((c+1),len);
//System.out.println(dcr1);
//System.out.println(dcr2);
String dcr="";
for(int i=0;i<c;i++)
{
dcr+=dcr2.charAt(i);
dcr+=dcr1.charAt(i);
}
System.out.print(output.charAt(0)+dcr);
//System.out.print(dcr);
}
}
}
