Tell us what’s happening:

Describe your issue in detail here.
I have tried various version of indentation thinking that is the issue but I still can’t find the problem, and tried the suggestions in the forum for this exercise but it still does not work. Any other suggestions?

Your code so far


/* User Editable Region */

text = 'Hello Zaira'
shift = 3
def ceasar():
    alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
    encrypted_text = ''
        for char in text.lower():
            if char == ' ':
            encrypted_text += char
        else:
            index = alphabet.find(char)
            new_index = (index + shift) % len(alphabet)
            encrypted_text += alphabet[new_index]
        print('plain text:', text)
        print('encrypted text:', encrypted_text)

Hello Datacat,

It looks like a lot of the lines have moved places. I would advise to reset the progress of this step. Define the function again, and then move everything under the function only by 1 tab from where they were, so they are correctly in the function.
