Tell us what’s happening:

Can someone help me please. I am new to python and It am stuck here, I do not see what my problem is.

Your code so far


# User Editable Region

def caesar(text, shift):
    if True:
        print('Shift must be an integer value.')

# User Editable Region

    alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
    shifted_alphabet = alphabet[shift:] + alphabet[:shift]
    translation_table = str.maketrans(alphabet + alphabet.upper(),    shifted_alphabet + shifted_alphabet.upper())
    return text.translate(translation_table)
encrypted_text = caesar('freeCodeCamp', 3)
print(encrypted_text)

Hi.

The instructions ask you to return the string. Have you done this?

Hi,
Yes it is returning the string, I do not see any type of error on the terminal. Do you see any problem on the code?

Hi. What does the print call do in python?

5

it prints(return) a specific string(message ) on the screen(terminal)…

6

Print doesn’t return. What does the return key word do?

7

return a result of function when it is called…
so should i use return key instead of print call

8

The instructions say to return the string so I suggest you try it. You know the print call hasn’t worked.
