Tell us what’s happening:

I think im doing everything how im supossed to, but it tells me that i need to print the alphabet variable outside of the caesar function, buit im already doing that

Your code so far


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)

# User Editable Region

    print('encrypted text:', encrypted_text)
