Tell us what’s happening:

I don’t understand what’s the issue here can someone help me

Your code so far


text = 'Hello Zaira'
custom_key = 'python'

def vigenere(message, key):
    key_index = 0
    alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
    encrypted_text = ''

    for char in message.lower():

# User Editable Region

        # Append space to the message
        if char == ' ':
            encrypted_text += char
        else: 
# Find the right key character to encode
             key_char = key[key_index % len(key)]
            key_index += 1

# User Editable Region

            index = alphabet.find(char)
            new_index = (index + offset) % len(alphabet)
            encrypted_text += alphabet[new_index]
    print('plain text:', message)
    print('encrypted text:', encrypted_text)
