Build a Caesar Cipher - Step 10

Python
1

Tell us what’s happening:

def caesar():
alphabet = ‘abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz’
shift = 5
shifted_alphabet = alphabet[shift:] + alphabet[:shift]
translation_table = str.maketrans(alphabet, shifted_alphabet)
text = ‘hello world’
encrypted_text = text.translate(translation_table)
print(encrypted_text)

I have attempted this manually and copy/paste several times, even refreshed the page and worked from step 9. I have done the cipher in the old python, this won’t work for some reason.

Your code so far

def caesar():
    alphabet='abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
    shift=5
    shifted_alphabet=alphabet[shift:]+alphabet[:shift]
    translation_table=str.maketrans(alphabet,shifted_alphabet)
    text='hello world'
    encrypted_text=text.translate(translation_table)

when you start the step there are 7 lines of code, now there are only 6 lines of code inside the function, you should reset the step (with the riound arrow🔄️ button) and then try again, do not delete any lines, move them all inside the function

You’ve posted two versions of your code. The last line is different

Thank you all for your help! I got it figured out :slight_smile:
