Python

Tell us what’s happening:

assigned whatever it told me to, the capitalisation is perfect, but still it’s now passing through “You should assign caesar(..)… to encrypted_text variable”

Your code so far

encrypted_text = ""
def caesar(text, shift):
    alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
    shifted_alphabet = alphabet[shift:] + alphabet[:shift]
    translation_table = str.maketrans(alphabet, shifted_alphabet)
    global encrypted_text
    encrypted_text = text.translate(translation_table)
    return encrypted_text


# User Editable Region

encrypted_text = caesar('freeCodeCamp', 3)
print(encrypted_text)

# User Editable Region
