You should indent all the lines after shift = 3 so that they become your new function body.

You are missing one line, the last line of code is not indented

made changes but still not able to solve without calling function

I’ve edited your code for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').

with or without the function call your code passes, the function call is irrelevant for the tests
