Tell us what’s happening:
“Right after your shift variable, declare a function called caesar and indent all the following lines to give your new function a body.”
What am I doing wrong here. I feel like these instructions are either so vague/worded so poorly, and some are super obvious and easy to follow, but still the code does not pass. super frustrating
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)
