Build a Caesar Cipher - Step 15

Python

Tell us what’s happening:

I added the uppercase version but it is not working what am I missing here?

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)

Welcome to the forum @sarahmahvy!

This is the starting code: translation_table = str.maketrans(alphabet, shifted_alphabet)

The instruction is asking you to concatenate the upper version of each argument to the argument itself.

So it would be something like this: str.maketrans(arg1 + arg1.upper(), ...)

Happy coding!
