GCSE Computer Science Caesar Cipher Practice Worksheets

(0)
Practice encryption and decryption for GCSE Computer Science - e.g. Edexcel 3.4.2: understand how a Caesar cipher algorithm works. It makes sense to give students lots of practical experience with an algorithm before trying to implement it in code. These worksheets give students an opportunity to encrypt and decrypt messages using the Caesar cipher - an activity which most find intrinsically fascinating.

Python Algorithms for A/S Computer Science
CompucademyCompucademy

Python Algorithms for A/S Computer Science

(0)
This is a collection of Python implementations of algorithms discussed in the Cambridge A and A/S Level Computer Science text book. They are also suitable for other exam boards and study at GCSE for more able students. Programs included: Using nested loops to print a rectangular pattern Printing a pyramid pattern - not using functions Printing a pyramid pattern - using functions Printing a hollow pyramid pattern - not using functions Printing a pyramid pattern - using functions These algorithms are fun and satisfying for students due the the pleasing visual output. It is a good idea to give students the chance to implement them for themselves before providing solutions. The Python code given in the teacher’s resource for this course is un-pythonic and often contains errors. The implementations provided here are written in a more pythonic style, are free from errors and provide an intuitive mapping to the pseudo-code given for the algorithms. Please note that I have translated the CIE pseudo-code construct of REPEAT…UNTIL using while True: # commands if condition: break which I consider the best conceptual equivalent. I hope you find this resource helpful.
