Build a Caesar Cipher - Step 15

Python
1

Tell us what’s happening:

I’ve added .upper() to each argument and concatenated them but I’m still getting an error. Any help would be highly appreciated

Your code so far

def caesar(text, shift):
    alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
    shifted_alphabet = alphabet[shift:] + alphabet[:shift]

# User Editable Region

    translation_table = str.maketrans(alphabet.upper() + shifted_alphabet.upper())

# User Editable Region

    return text.translate(translation_table)


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

the function still expect two arguments

you need to concatenate the uppercase version of the argument to the lowercase version, not the two arguments to each other
