text = 'Hello Zaira'
shift = 3

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


    for char in message:
        if char == ' ':
            encrypted_message += char  
        elif char.islower():
            index = alphabet.find(char)
            new_index = (index + offset) % len(alphabet)
            encrypted_message += alphabet[new_index]
        elif char.isupper():
            index = alphabet.find(char.lower())
            new_index = (index + offset) % len(alphabet)
            encrypted_message += alphabet[new_index].upper()

    print('Plain message:', message)
    print('Encrypted message:', encrypted_message)

caesar(text, shift)

You are supposed to change text and shift variables only.
encrypted_text contains text in its name but it’s a different variable, and you should not change it. The same is true for the strings "plain text" and "encrypted text", don’t change them.

3

cuz i did that too and still tells me i am wrong

4

Please share your updated code

5

Please share your updated code

6

i replece “caesar(text, shift) " with ''caesar()” i left it blank

7

It should be blank. If you reset the step, the function call has no arguments.

Inside your function body, rename the text and shift variables to message and offset, respectively.

Did you try this yet?

If you are still having a problem, please share your updated code.
