The Caesar cipher is a simple shift cipher that relies on
transposing all the letters in the alphabet using an integer key
between `0` and `26`. Using a key of `0` or `26` will always yield
(both positive or negative). Using the same key will always yield
the same output due to modular arithmetic. The letter is shifted
for as many values as the value of the key.
