Tell us what’s happening:
Hi!
Cannot understand my problem with the step 23.
I don’t know how else to code what the program is asking of me to get the result it requires. It say " Your encrypt function should return caesar(text, shift).", which it already does. What am I missing?
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):
return ceasar(text, shift)
def decrypt(text, shift):
return ceasar (text, shift, False)
# User Editable Region
encrypted_text = caesar('freeCodeCamp', 3)
print(encrypted_text)
