I'll explain this code step by step in a way a 13-year-old can understand.

Understanding the Code:

This Java program creates a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for encrypting and decrypting text
using different cipher techniques.

1. Importing Required Libraries


import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;

 javax.swing.*: Allows us to create GUI components like windows, buttons, text fields,
and labels.
 java.awt.*: Used for designing the layout of the GUI.
 java.awt.event.*: Helps us detect button clicks and other user actions.

2. Defining the CipherGUI Class


public class CipherGUI

 This creates a new class called CipherGUI. A class is like a blueprint that defines how
something behaves in Java.

3. Declaring GUI Components


private JFrame frame;
private JTextField passwordField, keyField;
private JTextArea outputArea;
private JComboBox cipherBox;
private JRadioButton encryptButton, decryptButton;

 JFrame frame: The main window of the application.


 JTextField passwordField: A text box for the user to enter a password (or message).
 JTextField keyField: A text box for entering a key (used in some ciphers).
 JTextArea outputArea: A larger text box for displaying the result.
 JComboBox cipherBox: A dropdown menu where the user selects the encryption
method.
 JRadioButton encryptButton, decryptButton: Buttons to choose between
encryption or decryption.

4. Creating the GUI


public CipherGUI() {
frame = new JFrame("Cipher Encryption & Decryption");
frame.setSize(500, 400);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setLayout(new FlowLayout());

 new JFrame("Cipher Encryption & Decryption"): Creates a window with a title.


 frame.setSize(500, 400): Sets the window size to 500 pixels wide and 400 pixels tall.
 frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE): Ensures the program
closes when the window is closed.
 frame.setLayout(new FlowLayout()): Arranges components in a simple left-to-right
layout.

5. Adding Cipher Selection


frame.add(new JLabel("Choose Cipher Technique:"));
String[] ciphers = {"Caesar", "Vernam", "Playfair", "Vigenere"};
cipherBox = new JComboBox<>(ciphers);
frame.add(cipherBox);

 JLabel is used to show text on the screen.


 cipherBox is a dropdown menu where the user selects a cipher type.

6. Adding Encryption & Decryption Buttons


encryptButton = new JRadioButton("Encrypt", true);
decryptButton = new JRadioButton("Decrypt");
ButtonGroup actionGroup = new ButtonGroup();
actionGroup.add(encryptButton);
actionGroup.add(decryptButton);
frame.add(encryptButton);
frame.add(decryptButton);

 Radio buttons allow the user to select either Encrypt or Decrypt.


 ButtonGroup ensures that only one of them can be selected at a time.
7. Adding Input Fields
frame.add(new JLabel("Enter Password:"));
passwordField = new JTextField(20);
frame.add(passwordField);

frame.add(new JLabel("Enter Key (Only for Vernam, Playfair, Vigenere):"));


keyField = new JTextField(20);
frame.add(keyField);
