Minor Efficiency Improvements:
The code is efficient for its purpose, but using a list to accumulate characters instead of concatenating strings directly within the loop improves performance slightly, especially for longer strings.
Redundant n Argument in dencrypt Function:
Since the ROT13 cipher is designed to shift characters by 13 positions, the n parameter is unnecessary for this particular implementation. Using a fixed 13-shift simplifies the code and makes it clear that it’s a ROT13 encryption.
Reversible Encryption Test Assumptions:
The doctest section’s example assumes that dencrypt will return the exact input message upon re-encryption with n=13. However, because n is modifiable, this behavior could break if n is set to a different value. Fixing n=13 would make the encryption/decryption consistent.
Testing for Errors and Assertions:
The function doesn’t include any assertions to validate inputs. Adding checks, especially for invalid inputs, would improve its robustness.
