Tell us what’s happening:

I swear I’m doing everything correct but still says its wrong :frowning: NEED HELP!

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)
    
print('alphabet', alphabet)

# User Editable Region

Welcome to the forum @liamjstrong

You should attempt to print the alphabet variable outside the caesar function.

Try removing the string, as it was not mentioned in the instructions.

Happy coding
