erbrown2 4ae218af57 I have created the code in caesar_cracker.py along with finding the secret numbers for each secret txt that are answered in answers.md.
Developing this code was not the easiest. I did run into some trouble at first with it returning a different secret number from the example in the notes online but then after changing the code and debugging it I got it to return the secret number to be 34. I was able to understand how Caesar Cipher actually works.
