Tell us what’s happening:

i cant continue writing code, it gives me "Sorry, your code does not pass. Keep trying.

Your code raised an error before any tests could run. Please fix it and try again." can anyone tell me the full answer for this task?

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():
    
        # 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

            # Define the offset and the encrypted letter
            offset = alphabet.index(key_char)
            index = alphabet.find(char)
            new_index = (index + offset) % len(alphabet)
            encrypted_text += alphabet[new_index]
    
    return encrypted_text

viginere(text, custom_key)
    encryption = viginere(text,)
    print(viginere())

edited, what exactly i need to do here?

almost there, try this syntax:

variable = function(argrument1, argument2)

Warm Welcome, there !
On calling the viginere function, you are leaving some indentation below that. Python does not allow improper indentation. As Mr. (or) Mrs. @pkdvalis said, try variablizing the function and print the variable.
Thanking You !!

Do the instructions ask to print?

7

I am not sure. @pkdvalis, May you elaborate more ?

Hi there, what they are asking you to do here is set the variable encryption equal to the function call, without separately calling your function nor printing anything.

You can try it

It is great that you solved the challenge, but instead of posting your full working solution, it is best to stay focused on answering the original poster’s question(s) and help guide them with hints and suggestions to solve their own issues with the challenge.

We are trying to cut back on the number of spoiler solutions found on the forum and instead focus on helping other campers with their questions and definitely not posting full working solutions.

Thank you for letting me know. I will provide a guideline in next time.
