 ## 🧭 Overview
 
-The Caesar cipher shifts every letter by a fixed number of places (with a shift of 3, `E` becomes `H`). This project, from Udemy's *100 Days of Code: The Complete Python Pro Bootcamp* (Day 8), finds letter positions with `list.index` and wraps around the alphabet with the modulo operator. Parts 1 and 2 cover encryption and decryption; a combined program follows in Part 3. Code lives in `src/`, tests in `tests/`, docs in `docs/`.

 Each letter is moved `shift` places through the alphabet:
 `new_position = (ALPHABET.index(letter) + shift) % 26`.
 The modulo keeps positions in range for shifts past `z`.
-Decryption is encryption with `-shift`. Non-letters are left untouched and letter case is preserved.
+Decoding shifts by `-shift`; one shared `caesar(text, shift, direction)` function does both. Non-letters are left untouched and letter case is preserved.
 
 API reference: run `doxygen Doxyfile` from the repository root and open
 `docs/doxygen/html/index.html`. The step-by-step plan is in [plan.md](plan.md).
