Error says “You should rename text to message”; however, the word ‘text’ is nowhere in my code.

What am I missing? Thank you!

message = 'Hello Zaira'
offset = 3

def caesar(message, offset):
    alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
    encrypted_message = ''

    for char in message.lower():
        if char == ' ':
            encrypted_message += char
        else:
            index = alphabet.find(char)
            new_index = (index + offset) % len(alphabet)
            encrypted_message += alphabet[new_index]
    print('plain message:', message)
    print('encrypted message:', encrypted_message)

caesar()

It’s not required to change the literal string that’s printed.

It is great that you solved the challenge, but instead of posting your full working solution, it is best to stay focused on answering the original poster’s question(s) and help guide them with hints and suggestions to solve their own issues with the challenge.

We are trying to cut back on the number of spoiler solutions found on the forum and instead focus on helping other campers with their questions and definitely not posting full working solutions.

Ok!, I didn’t know it, I’m sorry
