You seem to be doing that OK as is. Do you think you have a problem with it?
This was the code I was using. for letter in cypheredText: asciiValue = ord(letter) if asciiValue in range(97, 123): asciiValue += shiftedCypherNumber if asciiValue> 122: asciiValue -= 26 newLetter = chr(asciiValue)
Up to her is OK, but... Asssuming this next line is still inside the for loop?
text = list()
If this is in the loop then you create a new list for every letter. And you override the previous one so losing it... You probably want this before the loop. Its more usual to just do text = [] though.... But both techniques work.
text.append(newLetter) joinedText = ' '.join(text)
This is right but your text only has a single value in it as explained above.
Thanks for all your time and patience. Sorry for before not using Plain text!
It seems something is still broken! :-( -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
