    How to write this algorithem into C?

    What I need to do, is take any letter and convert it into another letter based on a key using the caesar cipher. The code for encryption is: (x + key)mod26 So say for the letter A, A = 0 and my key is 56, so it would be (56)mod26 which is 4, so A = 0, B = 1, C = 2, D = 4, so A becomes D...
