Build a Caesar Cipher - Step 17

Python

Tell us what’s happening:

def caesar(text, shift):
isinstance(shift, int)
return ‘Shift must be an integer value.’
this required if statement function to be replaced with isinstance with 2 urgument for (shift and int) but could not get the required solution, however everything seems correct to me.

Your code so far


# User Editable Region

def caesar(text, shift):
    isinstance(shift, int)
    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)

Hi.

Where is your if statement?

Also look at your indentation
