Describe your issue in detail here. i don’t know what is the issue please see this and resolve it

Your code so far

text = 'Hello Zaira'
custom_key = 'python'

def vigenere(message, key, direction):
    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)

# User Editable Region

     new_index = (index + offset) % len(alphabet) *offset

# User Editable Region

            encrypted_text += alphabet[new_index]
    
    return encrypted_text
    
#encryption = vigenere(text, custom_key)
#print(encryption)

how can i resolve this issue

Hello!

I do not think we should add another offset to multiply the direction.

You may wish to reset, or delete the added code.

Try entering the direction within

to multiply it to the offset.

Example: 
(one + two * three)

I hope this is clear enough for you to resolve the problem.

Were you able to solve it? I am going through the same issue - unable to get pass it.
my code is:
new_index = offset * direction

Do the multiplication to offset without removing the rest of the code in that calculation.
