Tell us what’s happening:

What’s wrong with this code I think they might be a system error here there’s nothing wrong with this code?

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

            def encrypt(text, shift):
    alphabet = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
    encrypted_text = ""
    
    for char in text:
        if char.upper() in alphabet:
            is_upper = char.isupper()
            char_upper = char.upper()
            
            # Define the offset and the encrypted letter
            offset = shift
            index = alphabet.find(char_upper)
            new_index = (index + offset) % len(alphabet)
            
            if is_upper:
                encrypted_text += alphabet[new_index]
            else:
                encrypted_text += alphabet[new_index].lower()
        else:
            encrypted_text += char
    
    return encrypted_text
    pass

this is not correct indentation, also why are you creating an encrypt function?

in your own words, what does this step asks from you?

3

It asks to remove the print functions then return encrypted text ok show me an example to tackle this task.
