I’ve indented the code but I seem to be overlooking the error, can someone please help

Your code so far

text = 'Hello Zaira'
shift = 3

def caeser():
    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)

hey, thank you for the reply…but I don’t think that was the only problem

Your code looks correct to me. You might need to hit the Reset button or hard refresh (CTRL+F5) and resubmit your code.
