Build a Caesar Cipher - Step 10

Curriculum Help

Tell us what’s happening:

I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. The code passed initially, and when I defined the function I indented it all so as to keep it within the function body, yet it still tells me I need to do exactly that. I’ve tried adding further indents to each line and I get an indent error. The same happens if I try to remove an indent.

Your code so far

# User Editable Region
def caesar():
    alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
    shift = 5
    shifted_alphabet = alphabet[shift:] + alphabet[:shift]
    translation_table = str.maketrans(alphabet, shifted_alphabet)
    return

Put all your existing code within the function body.

Reset the step and try again. You are missing some lines of code. Original code is 7 lines. Instructions do not mention return so you don’t need to add that.

You were right! I’d messed around with it a few times to try and get it to work which is where the deleted lines and return came in. I went back and copied my original code again and reset and it worked. Tysm!
