Tell us what’s happening:

Kindly help resolve step 68, my code returns an era.

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

    return encryption =  'text', 'custom_key'

What’s the error that you get? That could help resolve it.

As a refresher, here is how to call a function and give an argument:

print("Hello")

In generic syntax:

function(argument)

I hope this helps!

4

declare variable encryption and assign it function call with arguments
