Tell us what’s happening:

Can someone help me to pass this exercise, I don’t understand why it’s not working, I indented all lines…

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)

2

why did you add that many spaces in these two lines? you should not add spaces inside the lines, only at the beginning

3

The function definition itself should not be indented.

declare a function called caesar and indent all the following lines

Indent all the lines after you declare the function, to indicate that they are part of the function.
