Hello, i can’t spot the identation error here, to me it seems like all of the code is idented correctly, can you help me out?

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)

Hi @quassar and welcome to our community!

Your print calls should also be indented to be part of the function body. Otherwise you will have an error in your console as the encrypted_text variable is out of scope.
