Python

Tell us what’s happening:

everything looks good i have called my functions correctly

Your code so far

def caesar(text, shift, encrypt=True):

    if not isinstance(shift, int):
        return 'Shift must be an integer value.'

    if shift < 1 or shift > 25:
        return 'Shift must be an integer between 1 and 25.'

    alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'

    if not encrypt:
        shift = - shift
    
    shifted_alphabet = alphabet[shift:] + alphabet[:shift]
    translation_table = str.maketrans(alphabet + alphabet.upper(), shifted_alphabet + shifted_alphabet.upper())
    encrypted_text = text.translate(translation_table)
    return encrypted_text


# User Editable Region

    def encrypt(text,shift):
      caesar(text,shift)
      return
    def decrypt(text,shift):
      caesar(text,shift,False)
      return

# User Editable Region


encrypted_text = caesar('freeCodeCamp', 3)
print(encrypted_text)

Hi

Why have you added return statements at the end of each function? Were you asked to do this?

3

were you asked to create these functions inside the caesar function? double check the indentation
