Not sure what I am doing wrong. Any guidance would help.

Your code so far


# User Editable Region

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)
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)

Happy coding
