Tell us what’s happening:

Describe your issue in detail here.
I can’t rename the variables text and shift to message and offset

Your code so far


/* User Editable Region */

text = 'Hello Zaira'
shift = 3

def caesar(message, offset):
    text=message
    shift=offset
    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)

caesar()

What happens when you try to rename them?

Maybe try resetting the step, or reloading the page.

Ah, I see. You actually need to rename the variables yourself. Replace them with the new name. Don’t assign message to text, but actually replace everywhere it says “text” with “message”
