Learn String Manipulation by Building a Cipher - Step 75

Tell us what’s happening:

You should change each occurrence of encrypted_text into final_message. is what the website said, where is the last one??Help me find it. =))

My code so far


text = 'Hello Zaira'
custom_key = 'python'

# User Editable Region

def vigenere(message, key, direction):
    key_index = 0
    alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
    final_massage = ''

    for char in message.lower():
    
        # Append space to the message
        if char == ' ':
            final_massage += 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*direction) % len(alphabet)
            final_massage += alphabet[new_index]
    
    return final_massage

# User Editable Region

encryption = vigenere(text, custom_key, 1)
print(encryption)
decryption = vigenere(encryption, custom_key, -1)
print(decryption)

All occurrences were replaced, but new name has tiny typo, it’s final_message.
