I love my encryption but I need a program that is dedicated to making a caeser cipher. It will take an input string and will output a ciphered text with the number to decode it. The number can be made whatever you want
The shortest code wins!

\$\begingroup\$ I wanted to borrow some code from rosettacode.org/wiki/Caesar_cipher but these are a bit large \$\endgroup\$– dwanaJan 22, 2015 at 15:06

1\$\begingroup\$ I've voted to close as "too broad", due to the lack of specifics. This leaves glaring loopholes (as can be seen by current answers) and renders the challenge trivial/uninteresting. \$\endgroup\$– GeobitsJan 22, 2015 at 15:29

1\$\begingroup\$ I went for unclear, but w/e. Any close reason will do. \$\endgroup\$– John DvorakJan 22, 2015 at 16:22

Golfscript, 1 character
0
Outputs the input string rotated by 0 characters, plus the digit 0 to show how to decode it.
(sorry, I couldn't resist)

Ruby - 12
This was my first idea.
puts gets+?0
I see Doorknob posted an answer as I'm typing this, similar to my next idea:
CJam - 4
q0pp
Both of these shift by 0.
This might not count, because I haven't actually released the interpreter yet, but my golfing language KSFTgolf can do it like this:
0
That's zero bytes. It takes a byte to print the zero
Here are more:
Python 2 - 21
print raw_input()+"0"
Python 3 - 18
print(input()+"0")
Perl 5 - 10
print<>.0;

\$\begingroup\$ Your Ruby solution would output quotes around the string (inspect it), making it invalid. You have to use
putsor$><<instead. (You could also save a character by replacing"0"with?0.) \$\endgroup\$– DoorknobJan 22, 2015 at 15:41 -
\$\begingroup\$ @Doorknob Is that invalid? I don't think it says so in the question. \$\endgroup\$– KSFTJan 22, 2015 at 15:55
