Improve readability of ciphers/mixed_keyword_cypher.py by yanvoi · Pull Request #8626 · TheAlgorithms/Python

yanvoi · 2023-04-08T14:23:59Z

Describe your change:

I've tried my best with refactoring the code - it still might be too little but that's how much I've managed to do with the time I had.

Add an algorithm?
Fix a bug or typo in an existing algorithm?
Documentation change?

+unique_chars = []
+for char in keyword:
+if char not in unique_chars:
+ unique_chars.append(char)


Please make this a set.
https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#set

I believe it cannot be done with sets because the order of these characters in the keyword matters - it determines how we will map plaintext characters to the cyphertext.

I believe it cannot be done with sets because the order of these characters in the keyword matters - it determines how we will map plaintext characters to the cyphertext.
Then I think it would help if this was mentioned in the comments, so that future maintainers know that the char order matters

- s = []
- for _ in range(len_temp):
- s.append(temp[k])
+ modified_alphabet = []


Please do all this with set

As this is a basic substitution cypher, it is bounded by the number of different letters in the alphabet we're using. Using sets in this case wouldn't change the performance almost at all.

It turned out that whoever has written this algorithm hard-coded the number of rows into it.

…in the alphabet

tianyizheng02 · 2023-05-09T07:44:03Z

+ alphabet = list(ascii_uppercase)
+ alphabet_set = set(alphabet)


Suggested change
alphabet=list(ascii_uppercase)
alphabet_set=set(alphabet)
alphabet_set=set(ascii_uppercase)
... plus other changes to remove references to alphabet
I think converting ascii_uppercase to a list is unnecessary. Converting to a set, iterating, and indexing should all still work if you use the imported string directly.

I can of course change that but I wanted to make it easier for people who would like to use other alphabets (e.g. cyrillic) for their ciphers. So it is your call - should I change it or not?

If people want to use other alphabets such as Cyrillic, then they would have to go into the source code and change ascii_uppercase to a different variable. That doesn't really address the issue that ascii_uppercase (or whatever the user replaces it with) still doesn't need to be converted to a list.
If you want it to be easier to switch to a different alphabet, then perhaps you could have the function take in the alphabet string (ascii_uppercase, etc) as an input parameter

Fair point - I've done both - Now there's no conversion to the list and a different alphabet can be passed to the function. Thank you for the review!

The tests seem to be failing due to code outside of the file I've been editing.

Other contributors have been experiencing the same issue with ruff... try running ruff check --fix . to see if ruff can automatically fix any of the linting issues

yanvoi · 2023-05-12T12:55:08Z

Running ruff resulted in conflicts with another branch - I've resolved them and then ran ruff again and nothing changed - ruff finds 4 errors but doesn't fix them automatically.

tianyizheng02 · 2023-05-16T10:44:52Z

@yanvoi I believe the ruff errors were fixed in #8732, so the ruff check should pass after you update your branch

@cclauss How is it that @rohan472000's changes in their own branch are making their way into this PR?

for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci

tianyizheng02 · 2023-05-17T04:54:29Z

Oh my goddddd I knew this was gonna happen...

@yanvoi The ruff error is once again in another file that you didn't edit, but I already fixed it in #8743. Once that PR gets merged, updating your branch on GitHub should finally fix the issue

yanvoi · 2023-05-17T10:19:44Z

@tianyizheng02 No worries, I'll update when #8743 gets merged

tianyizheng02 · 2023-05-22T05:21:26Z

@yanvoi The ruff error was fixed in #8746 instead, so you should be good to update your branch

yanvoi · 2023-05-22T17:19:28Z

@tianyizheng02 All done, thanks again!

tianyizheng02 · 2023-06-08T00:17:53Z

+ mapping[alphabet[letter_index]] = row[column]
+ letter_index += 1
+
+ print(mapping)


Ideally the algorithm shouldn't have side effects such as printing, but I understand that printing the mapping is helpful for debugging purposes. Perhaps it'd be better to have a "verbose" function parameter that allows users to enable/disable printing the mapping

Done - I've also added a test case that includes setting the verbose parameter to False

cclauss · 2023-06-08T07:02:16Z

@tianyizheng02 Please approve this PR if you believe that it is ready to merge.
