我正在使用模数来处理密码，字母“ u”无法正确解码

Question

this is the code when I run it "u" won't show if I type in "under" it will decode as "nder" I'm not sure whether it's the use of modulus or the math in my problem I've tried with many other letters and the only real issue is with "u"

#include <iostream>

std::string decode(std::string input, int shift_amount);

std::string encode(std::string input, int shift_amount);

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    std::string x = "{qr-or-{rny";
    std::string output;
    output = decode(x, 13);
    std::cout << output << std::endl;
}

std::string encode(std::string input, int shift_amount)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < input.length(); i++)
    {
       input[i] = (input[i] + shift_amount) % 255;
    }
    return input;
}

std::string decode(std::string input, int shift_amount)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < input.length(); i++)
    {
        input[i] = (input[i] - shift_amount) % -255;
    }
    return input;
}

Simple test:

#include <iostream>

int
main()
{
  std::cout << (- 13) % (- 255);;
  return 0;
}

The program prints -13.

The % operation is not the modulo operation , but the remainder: you will not go back to a positive number from a negative one. You have to add 255 for negative numbers.
