Step 49
A function declaration starts with the def keyword followed by the function name — a valid variable name — and a pair of parentheses. The declaration ends with a colon.
Right after your shift variable declare a function called caesar and indent all the following lines to give your new function a body.

Your code so far


# User Editable Region

text = 'Hello Zaira'
shift = 3


def caesar():                
	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)
