            encrypted_text += char
        else:
            index = alphabet.find(char)
            new_index = (index + shift) % len(alphabet)
            encrypted_text += alphabet[new_index]

Hello Omar,

You only have to call the caesar() function, you don’t have to assign it to a variable here.
Also the print statements have to remain in the function.
