Tell us what’s happening:
I’m having issues converting a 2 lines of code into comments.
I did add # at the beginning of each of the last two lines. But it keeps prompting the message:
- You should turn the last two lines in your code into comments.
Put a # at the beginning of each line.
I tried everything, but I don’t understand what’s wrong?
Your code so far
# User Editable Region
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
#encryption = vigenere(text, custom_key, direction)
#print(encryption)
