C++: Implementing the Playfair cipher using Iterators and AlgorithmsLink opens in a new window

We introduce the Playfair cipher, the implementation of which will be the topic for the next three sessions. Then, to start the implementation, we introduce some so-called generic programming techniques, namely iterators and algorithms.
