Tell us what’s happening:

hey I don’t understand how to indent all lines after shift =3
could any one please tell me what to do?

Your code so far


# User Editable Region

text = 'Hello Zaira'
shift = 3
def caesar ():
    pass
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()

# User Editable Region

indent means that you need to add spaces in front of each line.

A shortcut is select all lines and use tab, but make sure you understand what the indentation mean
