Tell us what’s happening:
Hey there! Any help with line 33 would be appreciated…trying to concatenate the string Key and the value of my custom_key variable…any thoughts on what I’m doing wrong?
Your code so far
text = 'mrttaqrhknsw ih puggrur'
custom_key = 'python'
def vigenere(message, key, direction=1):
key_index = 0
alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
final_message = ''
for char in message.lower():
# Append any non-letter character to the message
if not char.isalpha():
final_message += char
else:
# Find the right key character to encode/decode
key_char = key[key_index % len(key)]
key_index += 1
# Define the offset and the encrypted/decrypted letter
offset = alphabet.index(key_char)
index = alphabet.find(char)
new_index = (index + offset*direction) % len(alphabet)
final_message += alphabet[new_index]
return final_message
def encrypt(message, key):
return vigenere(message, key)
def decrypt(message, key):
# User Editable Region
return vigenere(message, key, -1)
print('Encrypted text:' + text)
print('Key: ' + custom_key)
# User Editable Region
#decryption = decrypt(encryption, custom_key)
#print(decryption)
