Tell us what’s happening:

I’ve check with other people’s code, it’s the same, but mine don’t work

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:', encrypted_text)
