Tell us what’s happening:
I don’t understand why it doesn’t work. Can someone help me, please ?
I’ve done this:
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)
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)
