what am i doing wrong on this code

Right after your shift variable, declare a function called caesar and indent all the following lines to give your new function a body.

I am having the same problem as you with the indentation. I know my loop indentation is correct. I have no idea where my mistake is. I made a post just after you if you want to look at my code and compare. But i still can not find a solution at the moment.

the print statements also need to be inside the function
