1. Post a screenshot of your code for the caesarDecrypt function.

2. Explain the difference between a function and a procedure. Give an example of a function.

A function performs a certain action using the inputs it is given and outputs an answer. An example would be the caesarEncrypt function in the Caesar Cipher app. A procedure is something that is defined and then called with a variable input.

3. Explain the difference between global and local variables. Why are local variables easier to debug than global variables?

A global variable is used everywhere across an app's code. A local variable is only defined within a function or a parameter. Local variables are easier to debug because they are smaller scale so you don't have to change the entire code.
