Tell us what’s happening:

Describe your issue in detail here.
I’m confused as I have renamed the variables within the function and left the variables outside the function alone, this is as far as my puny brain can go.

Your code so far


# User Editable Region

text = 'Hello Zaira'
shift = 3

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

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

caesar()
