One day, Julius Caesar was trying to augment his encryption algorithm, and he thought of a brilliant idea: to use a random number shift between -5 and 4 (inclusively) on each character instead of using a constant shift throughout the entire string.

Before implementing this, he needed a way to generate random numbers, so he just asked the Oracle to tell him a random number.

To test, he recorded the first random number before actually starting his encryption:

0.17815097630184595
He used his new encryption algorithm to encrypt the flag to this problem. The encryption version is:

fQ3DWOkk5I6tRsP?dqtU

Algebra can be used to solve a random number problem by considering order of operations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Algebra is one of the broad parts of mathematics, together with number theory, geometry, and mathematical analysis. It is used to represent the  letters and symbols than numbers and quantities.

Algebra is of two types

i.) Elementary algebra  ,   ii.) Abstract algebra

Elementary algebra is used for any study and their applications.

Abstract algebra is used for advanced mathematics by professionals.

The order of operations in algebra means solving first for exponents or roots, then multiplication, division, addition, and last for subtraction. The steps for the order of operations also require attention to mathematical grouping symbols, such as parentheses and brackets.
