Build a Caesar Cipher - Step 16

Tell us what’s happening:

String ‘Shift must be an integer value’ requires the period to be added to the end ( . )

Just wanted to make this post incase anyone else ran into the same issue. Good luck, Stay motivated.

Your code so far

def caesar(text, shift):
    

# User Editable Region

    if True:
        return '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)
