Your code so far


# User Editable Region

text = 'Hello Zaira'
shift = 3
def caesar():

    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)
