Tell us what’s happening:

I don’t understand what the problem is. Can anyone help? It keeps telling me to write caesar as function name after def keyword.

Your code so far


# User Editable Region

text = 'Hello Zaira'
shift = 3
def caeser(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:', message)
    print('encrypted text:', encrypted_text)

caeser(text,shift)

# User Editable Region
