Welcome to our community!

Do not change the name of the variable in the second print call.

Where did you find instructions for passing any arguments to the function?

Don’t change the names of the given variables with different names from the name of the ‘text’ variable.

Hi @arthurleuski,

Adding on to @DobarBREND, double-check your print statements. You only want to change variables, not strings.

So don’t change strings, only change variables that are text and shift, and arguments in your ceasar() function is not required.
