Build a Caesar Cipher - Step 16

Python
1

Tell us what’s happening:

def caesar(text, shift):
if True:
print(“Shift must be an integer value”)
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)
My code have if condition as True, so the statement runs everytime. how I can fix it.

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 a string. What have you done?
