I am writing a program on shifting a word. My desired output should be a:f b:g c:h ... y:d z:e A:F B:G C:H ... Y:D Z:E
import string letters = string.ascii_letters #contains 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ' #create the Caesar cypher offset = 5 #choose your shift totalLetters = 26 keys = {} #use dictionary for letter mapping invkeys = {} #use dictionary for inverse letter mapping, you could use inverse search from original dict for index, letter in enumerate(letters): # cypher setup if index < totalLetters: #lowercase letter = letters[index] keys[letter] = letters[(index + offset) % 26] print(letters[index] + ":" + keys[letter]) else: #uppercase letter = letters.isupper() keys[letter] = letters[(index + offset) % 26] print(letters[index] + ":" + keys[letter])
But after running this code, my output is a:f b:g c:h ... y:d z:e A:f B:g C:h ... Y:d Z:e
Seems isupper()
function didn’t work here. Could you help with this based on my code structure. Thanks in advance!

Answer
in uppercase
condition,
keys[letter] = letters[(index + offset) % 26 + 26]
