Tell us what’s happening:

Currently, your code raises a TypeError, because the caesar function is defined with two parameters (message and offset), therefore it expects to be called with two arguments.

Calling caesar() without the required arguments stops the execution of the code.

Give message and offset values, by passing text and shift as arguments to the caesar function call.

Your code so far

text = 'Hello Zaira'
shift = 3

def caesar(message, offset):
    alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
    encrypted_text = ''

    for char in message.lower():
        if char == ' ':
            encrypted_text += char
        else:
            index = alphabet.find(char)
            new_index = (index + offset) % len(alphabet)
            encrypted_text += alphabet[new_index]
    print('plain text:', message)

# User Editable Region

    print('encrypted text:', encrypted_text)
caesar(message,shift_value)

# User Editable Region
