Learn String Manipulation by Building a Cipher - Step 57

Tell us what’s happening:

I saw other questions and they were completely different it was like, they were at lvl 70

Your code so far


# User Editable Region

text = 'Hello Zaira'
shift = 3

def Vigenere():
    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)
    print('encrypted text:', encrypted_text)

vigenere()
vigenere()

# User Editable Region

For this step you are asked to remove this two lines:

caesar(text, shift)
caesar(text, 13)

Do not modify the rest of the code if not required, because it might make the tests fail.

3

But why did they ask to convert caesar to vigenere

4

You’ve completed the Caeser cipher, and now you are going to change many parts of the code to transform it into a Vigenère cipher.

This will be many steps and this is just the first small step.

5

The Python curriculum was recently updated so the Step #'s in older posts will no longer match the Step you are on. If they aren’t making sense, this probably why.

6

Oh that’s why It was so different
